How long have you lived in Boston? I live in the burbs, and have lived here my whole life (26 years).
Pregnancy/baby wisdom for us? There are parts of pregnancy that absolutely suck ass, but overall try to enjoy it, it's so amazing. Movement makes it all worth it, there is nothing more amazing than feeling your baby inside! Well, until it's an outside baby, but I'm not there yet :-P Oh and learn to perfect your smile and nod, because holy moly you will get more unsolicited advice about the most inapporpriate things.
Tell us one thing about you: I tell it like it is.

Pregnancy/baby wisdom for us? Looking back, I know people tell you to go out to dinner, enjoy relaxing, read some good books, etc. And I did, but felt like I should have done it even more! So I highly recommend to just be spontaneous while you can!

Pregnancy/baby wisdom for us? Ha! I could use some myself. I guess I would just suggest not to complain and remember life before being pregnant. I work with a girl who complained her WHOLE pregnancy and we were so happy when she left on mat leave. When I told people at work this week, they were excited and suprised (cause I didn't torture them).

Pregnancy/baby wisdom for us? 1-Towards the end be sure to keep yourself active and make plans for everyday because the waiting can make you crazy. 2 - Practice the "smile and nod" because everyone has a story to share about their pregnancy or their child rearing abilities and they all have an opinion to share with you. 3- Make friends with your nurses during delivery/time in the maternity ward. They will make or break your experience in the hospital. 4- You will be exhausted but try to enjoy your first few days with your little one, allow others to hold him or her so you can sneak in a nap here or there. You will learn to value sleep in a way you've never loved it before. 5 - The first few days seem so hard but each day gets a little easier and it is ok to let others help (bring over food, hold the baby, wash the dishes, etc)
