We\u2019ve been having really humid weather in Massachusetts lately, so it\u2019s been pretty uncomfortable moving around as a giant pregnant woman. I don\u2019t know how I would deal without air conditioning. I usually wake up on top of the blankets and look over to see Daniel shivering under a comforter and an additional quilt he got in the middle of the night.

I\u2019m getting really excited and a little impatient. I\u2019m super thankful that I haven\u2019t had any major problems or complications but now I just really want to meet the little guy. We went to the hospital where I will be delivering and had a tour. I\u2019m a little uneasy about delivering in Boston, depending on the time of day traffic could be a real issue. But it was nice to be able to visualize how everything is going to work. <\/p>\n<p>Here are some links I\u2019ve read recently while dealing with night sweats or peeing 16 times a day :)<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/07\/25\/magazine\/big-business-gwyneth-paltrow-wellness.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times did a fascinating profile on Goop<\/a>. Equal parts interesting, silly, and yes, \u201caspirational.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sleep is one of the most critical aspects of health and wellness and really just general success in all areas of life. But it\u2019s so often overlooked. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2018\/07\/20\/630792401\/sleep-scientist-warns-against-walking-through-life-in-an-underslept-state\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">A sleep scientist was on Fresh Air talking about the immense importance of sleep<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>I always love these lists. Here are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mercedsunstar.com\/news\/article215571375.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">some of the unhealthiest meals in America<\/a>. I know I\u2019m supposed to be grossed out, but honestly a 2700 calorie breakfast burrito sounds pretty darn good right now.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delish.com\/kitchen-tools\/g22090120\/hacks-for-picky-eaters\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hacks for picky eaters<\/a>. Could be good for parents trying to get their kids to eat more nutritious stuff. <\/p>\n<p>I know exercise doesn\u2019t come easy to a lot of us (raises hand&#8230;then counts it as exercise for the day) but it really is great for health. According to a study in Australia, <a href=\"https:\/\/coach.nine.com.au\/2018\/07\/26\/10\/50\/physical-activity-chronic-disease-risk\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">lots of physical activity halved the risk of stroke, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes over ten years<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi Friends!
