Positive Thinking for pregnancy

Dezaray, Say these things with me!

Trust your body.

Pregnancy and Birth are not an Illness.

The changes of pregnancy can cause discomfort.

I will grow with my baby.

I am grateful for this powerful experience.

My Baby and I are working together.

My body is my friend.

I send love to my baby and call him or her into my arms.

Pregnancy is a journey and a special time in my life.

Different experiences are good for me.

I trust my body.

I am strong and smart; I can learn a lot to help me prepare for my birth and my baby.

I will welcome my circle of family and friends for support

.

I will request that they allow me to make my own informed decisions in my care.

I will be honest with my midwives and doctors.

I will ask questions and express my concerns.

I will take responsibility to have healthy lifestyles and avoid anything that could harm me and my baby.

I share in the strength and wisdom of all mothers.

With each day my baby grows and develops a little more.

My body is beautiful and strong.

My changing body is massaging and hugging the baby.

I am able to increase my inner strengths and overcome obstacles.

My body will take care of my baby until it is ready for birth.

I can make wise choices to avoid harm.

The power of pregnancy birth strengthens me.

The baby is developing naturally.

I will grow the baby I can birth.

My body knows how to give birth, and I will let it.

Every day brings me closer to meeting my baby.

The Baby's Room

So about every other time I meet someone who doesn't know I am pregnant or only sees me occasionally, I get the question..."So do you have the baby's room ready?"
                       NO!
Not to be rude or anything...but until I had my Tampa shower two weekends ago, which was given my amazing friend Debi BTW...I HAD a washcloth and a rattle.

I know pretty sad. But I do have some stuff now that I did have one of my showers.
Here's the problem. We can't stay in the convent forever. We have to move.
No one is kicking us out... it's just not the best situation.
So do I get the baby's room ready? Do I wait?
I mean he/she...or what I like to call the baby "Blueberry" is going to be in our room for what a few months at least. What's the hurry?

Anyway. I discovered this weekend that some people thought my theme was Winnie the Pooh. I believe this was due to the fact that Eric scanned one Winnie banket.
Well let me clear up any misconceptions. Our "Theme" is a lovebird-demask theme that I found on a few different websites.
Here are the love birds.

Here is the coordinating Demask

And here is a picture of the crib bedding I designed at http://www.babybedding.com/

I have also found the fabric for the bedding on http://www.etsy.com/

So when will the baby's room get done? God only knows.

This whole pregnancy has been a trust project with God and I. All the things that I have thought were going to happen, haven't so I just have finally let it go and given it over to him.

I'm already heavy enough. I don't need to carry it anymore.

28 weeks

At times, it seems that time is flying by...but right now at 6:15 am it's been dragging on so.

Here are some pictures from the last eight weeks

"My drink"

Discouraged

It's 3:17 am. I am up for my nightly feeding.
Yes every night around 3 or 4 after I was up at around 1 going to the bathroom I get up to eat.
I can't help it...someone is hungry.
So I just had to blog.
I feel discouraged. Every time I go to the Dr. office, I am overweight.
Our water heater just broke
Eric is still waiting for a job
I am still working mine, and feeling tired
We have nothing ready for the baby
I wonder how I will get through this birth
My friends seem all to busy to even talk to me
My family as usual have their own things going on, and I am just an afterthought
I feel so alone sometimes.


Yet here I am with a living human inside of me. A very weird state of being.

I can't wait to hold this baby. It's becoming more of a thought every single moment of everyday. So much so that when I think about it I cry.


103 days.

I was Born.

Thank God that if you are reading this and watch this video.... You were Born.



Let's pray for an end to Abortion.

20 weeks

Sorry I am such a slacker with my blog! Here's Baby H!

We had our 20 week ultrasound on Friday. Everything is normal and Baby is really starting to move!

Also here is a picture of me from today...I know looking big! I still have almost 5 more months too! Pray for me!

Come here doggie...
