There’s a bagel in my oven, dear Liza, dear Liza

I havent blogged in so long! Thats because I’ve been dealing with some serious unexpected, monumental life events.  After several, several weeks of stressing, thinking, dreaming, and picturing, I have come to terms with the fact that I am going to be a Mama. I am going to be a Mama somewhere around March 19th, and this is really happening!

Most of you probably already know this seriously juicy tidbit of information, but if you don’t, and you are shocked, know that your shock pales in comparison to mine. But guess what? Life happens, and by that I mean, “life finds a way” (Jurassic Park). I am beginning to understand what an incomparable experience pregnancy is.  It is quite empowering, and it really helps you to understand how having a positive attitude can get you through the toughest of unexpected circumstances.  Our bodies, minds, and hearts were created to do this, afterall. And thanks to friends & family who have given me such great words of encouragement – it really means the world to me.

Being the “natural”/green junkie that I am, it’s been satisfying my intellectual curiosity to constantly read about the next generation of child rearing – that which is holistic, and earth friendly. I’m obsessed with learning about women who have gone through a natural birth, and why. I’m letting natural birth be the goal that I strive for. I’m going to prepare myself as much as possible for the experience of childbirth w/o intervention.  After that, I can only hope for the best.

So don’t be surprised if the next vein of visuals I post are related to this experience as I experience it.
