Because I know that this will happen hopefully sooner rather than later, for the last few months I have been trying to "prepare" my body for it. I tried to take 1 400 mcg of folic acid every day for about 2 months, but then last month I found Belly-bar Prenatal chewable vitamins and so I ordered them and I have really liked taking them.
I also found a special tea called Fertili Tea that is supposed to be very good at increasing your chances at conceiving.
...let me quickly tell you this though, we aren't trying (gross, I hate using that term) yet. I'm just trying to best prepare myself for it. :) (This may be a little TMI for some, especially my mother, but I will share that we are not "trying" too hard not to conceive either. ;) )
One of the things that I have read in my research is that you should have some type of workout repertoire. You may have seen my picture on facebook of me doing the half marathon,
I have to share though that the race was nearly 2 months ago and I have not done anything since, ha ha. Apparently being in better shape is just not quite enough motivation for me to start back up again. However, when I change my perspective to instead working out as baby prep, I feel more inclined to stop procrastinating it.
I know I'm going to be a good mom. I just do. ..and I know Matt is going to be a wonderful father, I wouldn't have married him if I didn't. I just can't stand the idea that there is this baby that God already has a plan for, and that is waiting to be conceived and born, and Matt still isn't quite "ready". I have to remind myself that me not having a baby yet is probably part of His plan to.
Patience, patience...
...but to my future baby, I look forward to looking back at this post with you in my arms, and being able to read to you how much you are already loved and wanted.
Until then....
Love and hope, Natalie
