Shopping

I've successfully spent more time in the Motherhood Maternity store than I care to admit.  As we move closer to the third trimester we've been on an endless search for comfortable and professional clothing for her to wear to work.  We've found that the Motherhood store has a good selection of style as well as comfort.  

Erin is also starting to notice that simple tasks like bending over are a little more complicated than usual.  She also has trouble breathing occasionally and finds relief only by laying down or standing up.  I've been told that these are all common problems for pregnant women and should be nothing to worry about. 

I'm happy that so far the pregnancy has been relatively normal.  I've been trying to actually get her to slow down so that she can rest more often.  The pregnancy is going so well that Erin for the most part continues to do everything that she did prior to being pregnant.  She has always been eager to please everyone (including me) even if it means that she is stressed to the max and it is a huge inconvenience to her.  That's one of the many reasons that I love her so much.  However, I've been trying to push her to be a little more selfish now that she is pregnant.  The first priority right now is keeping her and the baby healthy and happy.
