Noah's heart rate was 154 today and sounded so precious I cried. I know, I know, I'm so emotional....but how could I not be?! How could I not cry at the sound of his heart beating within me? How could I not feel overwhelmed with love for my son every time I feel him move? I feel like I'm among the norm. In fact my hormones have been in check and I might be the first woman to admit that and feel confident that my actions have backed it up. hahah I don't cry at random tv commercials whilst eating a tub of chunky monkey, I don't run fellow shoppers over with my cart at the grocery store for grabbing the last spicy yellow lentil hummus, nor do I find myself locked in my room playing Celine Dion's greatest hits over and over as I look through old yearbooks, crying over my first lost love. I don't know if that actually happens with anyone, but shoot, if you did I wouldn't blame you. Celine Dion has some serious pipes! I have had some situations that I nipped in the butt the minute I knew it would bring negative drama, so that could be viewed as irrational behavior, but I like to think of it as being oh so wise and not allowing negativity in me or my son's life. ;) Over the past year or so I've slowly been transitioning into a lifestyle of peace, patience, love, tranquility, compassion, service and continuous self-improvement. I only listen to classical music or LDS Hymns of Worship on Pandora (this station actually plays other music that isn't LDS, in fact it plays a really nice variety of uplifting music:)), I exercise, eat healthy, do a little yoga here and there, and consistently try to focus on the good and never dwell on the bad. I truly believe that it has not only helped me, but has created a safe and peaceful home for my son as he grows and develops. Ok, ok, I'll stop rambling....for my weekly check in....
Next week I'm finally in my third trimester and three weeks following that will be my next check-up. I get to do the glucose test which I have to admit I'm kind of curious to see how the glucola tastes. lol... November 6th, however, is a big day. I'm getting a 3D ultrasound of little Noah and cannot WAIT to see what he looks like. I need to start packin on the good weight so he can get all cute and chubby for his close up! :)
Life is good...I have so much to be grateful for. I have a testimony that if you keep moving forward, focus on the good even if you have to search to find even a sliver of good, and never give up, anything is possible!
Loves from Mommy and Noah....
