Good Enough - Words to Live By

I've been doing a lot of worrying and planning, even though it's only week 5. Some of it's fun and productive. Some not so much. It helps to see so many of our friends having healthy pregnancies and beautiful babies. Our friends welcomed a baby girl, Sofia, today. We couldn't be happier for them.

Like most 20-somethings who worry, I turned to the internet for a solution. This article about "perfect enough pregnancy" was just what I needed. With my first OBGYN appointment in 8 days, it's nice to focus on being just good enough. Not perfect. And once we hear the heartbeat at that appointment, it sounds like the chances of miscarriage go down to something like 5%. I can live with that
 
A great discovery this week: our pool pass to the neighboring high rise gets us into the fitness center. Great news for my butt, which could use some time on the machines. Oh, and my heart, which has to be healthy for the baby. That too.

My "good enough" activities: eating lots of sugar snap peas, lounging by the pool, working out covertly in the "new" fitness center, drinking the occasional cup of coffee without guilt, taking naps upon naps, and trolling the internet for feel-good articles about pregnancy.
