For some reason I just feel so amazing today!

[celticreverie]

It could just be pregnancy hormones but my body and mind and soul just feel amazing. I feel beautiful, empowered, spiritual and just in tune with everything.

Even though my body has it's fair share of problems, it doesn't bother me. The pain I have right now, due to a swollen vagina, also isn't a big deal!

I think it has a lot to do with the fact that in 2 days I will have moved on into the third trimester. I can feel my pelvis adjusting, as well as my hips. I see the baby dancing on the roof of my stomach and just know that everything will be ok!

Taxes should be here in the next two weeks and I will get the birth kit, the herbs, the cloth diapers, and beads for a birth necklace. With 3-3.5 months before this baby arrives my excitement is just building up and I feel like I am going to burst!

I showed Becka a birth video, and she could see everything that went on with the birth and it didn't startle her. She seemed oddly excited about seeing the baby being born and kept saying "baby baby baby" like she wanted to reach through the screen and hug the baby! It gives me hope that she will want to be in the room when her sibling is born! I feel she is ready for this, but if she is not we are prepared for that too. She wont be forced into it!

I am not afraid of birth any more either. I feel I have grown so much since I had Becka and I regret not educating my self enough with her. I didn't realize how wonderful and amazing our bodies are and how beautiful birth can be.

Hell, even my husband is excited about catching the baby! Who would have thought?!

As my belly grows, so does my confidence and so does my feelings of being beautiful. Pregnancy is beautiful...

Thats awesome! Isn't it great how children are so accepting of things that adults can't always handle? It is just one more thing they are learning about the world. You are setting her up for a very healthy outlook on birth.
