## Weekly Affirmation

###  I take it one day at a time. 





Eating well helps your baby grow strong and keeps you feeling your best. Choose a mix of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, protein, and dairy.

Drink plenty of water and take a prenatal vitamin every day. Always carry a bottle of water with you.
