If there is one thing I can be described as it would be…organized! I haven’t met a to-do list I didn’t love or an Excel sheet I haven’t maximized its usage of when it comes to trips, life cycle events, home remodel, etc. There is nothing more satisfying than crossing something off my to-do list. Being in my third trimester, I have taken it to the next level which I didn’t know was even possible. I am surrounded by all of the checklists and Excel sheets with the goal to hopefully be as prepared as possible for when the baby arrives. I know the parents out there are probably laughing their heads off reading this because I do know that no matter how prepared you are, there is nothing more life changing than having a baby. At the same time, it gives me control and a feeling that I have a handle on all things going on (even if it’s not true). But back to my OCD…having food restrictions and keeping a moderate FODMAP diet lifestyle, makes it harder to have family and friends help with meals. Most of my friends after having a baby had a meal train set up for them for at least a month or two to help out with dinner time but for me it’s not as easy to explain what I can and cannot eat. Instead, I want to have as many FODMAP safe meals and snacks in the freezer ready to grab when needed.
