Self Esteem Quotes

This week I wanted to remind everyone how important self esteem is and to share with you some of my favourite quotes as a reminder...

“To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are.”

“Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you.”

“Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.”

“Instead of thinking about what you're missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing.”

"Do not wish to be anything but what you are, and try to be that perfectly."

"Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."

Enjoy!

And then there were three

It was not long after my previous blog entry back in April (I know - I'm a slacker) that I took that little test that showed two lines instead of one saying... YOU'RE PREGNANT! Of course, I didn't believe the first one, or the second or third tests, but by the sixth positive test I was starting to believe it!

Fast track to now, I'm almost 5 months along and looking a little rounder out front than before and the journey has become really exciting. The first trimester was all about risk, nausea, keeping it a secret... nothing pleasant, but now it's getting interesting. It took me until 20 weeks to finally look pregnant, and now not only do I have my bump (which I'm very proud of) but I can feel our baby kicking, and so can my husband now.

We've found out we're having a girl and we couldn't be more thrilled... life is full of twists and turns and this is one adventure we're more than a little nervous about, but ready to embrace. We've read the books, done the classes, watched the DVD's, gotten advice from friends and family but we're smart enough to know that nothing can really prepare us for what's ahead. So we're just going to buckle up and enjoy the ride!
