Reminders while waiting for baby to come...

Ok, I'm totally not pregnant right now, but ran across this list that a Mother wrote. I found it to be encouraging words! I personally struggle through pregnancies with feelings of being overwhelmed and I hope these words will be encouraging to other pregnant women:

Things to do while you wait for baby to come.......
Pray without ceasing!
Hug and love on your children.
Stay busy!
Don't sit and dwell on things.
Do a project.
Get on a good schedule.
Take a nap everyday.
Don't think about what is not working unless you have a solution.
Smile and laugh.
Keep it simple.
Use the crock pot.
Go ahead and throw stuff out.
Sit and count your blessings.
Memorize a few verses.
Do something fun.
Remember you do better if you get out.
Relax, relax, relax.
Call a friend.
Eat what you want. Just less.
Don't worry.
Focus on this minute and this hour only.
Go to bed early.
Remember God is in charge and he is my refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.
He always was, always is and always will be!
God has forgotten nothing, nor does he slumber or sleep.
He has never been out of control for one moment.
He holds all things together.
Lean on Him.
You don't have to do it all today.
Make a to do list but it is okay if it all doesn't get done.
Make a light schedule and stick to it.
