DON'Ts and DOs!

Thuan's mother has come to visit both the family of his brother and our family (Thuan, me, and the coming baby) when Thuan has been away from home for a trip. She and I always enjoy talking and sharing to one another. She has a listening ear that not every one has. Not all mother-in-law is like her. She takes care of me just like her own daughter who comes home for a visit after a long year with her hard work. She provides the best for me. I have always found joy and pleasance being with her. We often talk about everything on the earth, sometimes with tear and at the other times with laughters.
This time, she has come to me with a list of "DON'Ts and DOs" that I should attend as a pregnant lady. There are so many things I cannot understand why they should be like that, so I asked her if I can miss some of those. However, I know she is experienced. She obviously was pregnant at least three times to bear Thuan, his older sister and brother. Besides, I know she loves me, truly. Therefore, it did not take long for me to follow her directions.
Interestingly, as I read the book "What to expect when you are expecting" for expecting mommy, I found her wisdom is in the book also. I am happy because of many helps I have during this very special stage of my life.
Thanks be to God for those who have gone ahead of me in life!
