Ask yourself the following question and then write your response: 'What is the story you are telling yourself about the outcome of this wait?'
Then read your response and take a moment to let your words sink in. Allow yourself to react emotionally to your own words. What feelings and thoughts come up while you read your answer?
Next, ask yourself this question: 'What is the reality of the outcome of this wait?' In other words - what will really happen once this wait is over?
Read your response to this question and compare the two responses. What differences and similarities exist between the two? Is your story different from the reality? What reactions do you have to your responses?
Think of a friend or two you can share these questions and your responses with. Then ask them to respond.

Research some quick, simple meals for a pregnant woman in the first trimester. Create a meal plan for each week - be sure to include enough meals to overcome increased appetite while maintaining health and balance. Also, added points for tailoring the plan to your current situation and companions - would your partner enjoy these meals? If you currently have children, would these meals appeal to them? Feel free to share your favorite meals in the comments - or on your favorite online forum.
A-Magic Bonus:
Create a spreadsheet for the meal plan and continue the meal plan for the full 9 months of pregnancy. Ensure the meal plan has an appealing format (use color!) Then, create a shopping list template for the plan to accommodate 1) someone else doing the shopping, in case you are too ill to do so and 2) either a weekly or bi-monthly shopping trip, depending on your normal time frame.
