Loving My Pregnant Body

I cannot even begin to express the amount of adoration I have for my own body as it’s growing this human being inside of me. I LOVE the new curves I have, I LOVE the way that my belly is changing, I LOVE that my body is able to do all of this! I am in complete and utter awe that my human body is even capable of this and to witness it changing shape and growing, literally growing, is absolutely amazing. I truly am in awe.

After my shower this afternoon I decided to lather on some coconut oil to combat the dryness of winter here in Australia. Thankfully it isn’t too cold so I just air dried my body and watched how the winter’s sun came in through the window and illuminated my growing belly, I was glowing! All of the feminine goodness that I am right now is so very attractive to me! I love it. I absolutely love it.

What a gift and blessing to be able to experience this. I feel incredibly grateful.

There’s a Baby In There

Last night as I lay in bed, I could actually feel the baby growing inside of me. I was on my back and it was clear that in one portion of my abdomen that there was something there, a semi-hard lump and it made me speechless.

I’ve been wanting to feel the baby move or something to let me know that it’s in there and for some reason I wasn’t expecting to be able to feel it with my hand before feeling it from inside, it took me by surprise. I’m just past 16 weeks now and in the past week I have grown a lot! It feels great and I’m so excited about this process!

Naturally I shared this experience with my husband and he felt it too. I’d like to think he was also as excited but he isn’t as free with words and emotions as I am at times. Although, funnily, this morning my sweater was so stretched that it was obvious that I am pregnant and I told him, look, this is all real! He laughed and was like, oh and the ultrasounds and the morning sickness didn’t make you realise? Funny enough, the visual image is what makes it feel very very real. Oh how I LOVE my body too! 🙂

The Spiritual Mom

At 13 weeks,

I became completely and utterly filled with joy

with excitement,

that I –

I Will Be A Mom.

Words cannot explain how truly excited I am about this stage of life.

For all the searching for what was spiritual,

for all the experiences I’ve had that have been totally connected,

where i have been enveloped in the beautiful flow of life,

for all of the love and unity that I’ve known before now…

It’s been so real, it’s been so surreal.

It’s been my personal journey.

Now, with my baby growing inside of me, conceived out of true love,

I feel a sense of connection and oneness and spirituality in a deeper, more expansive way than ever before.

Without a doubt this baby, this stage of life of being a mother, and being a wife, will forever change who I am, and I openly embrace it. I know that I will experience growth in ways that I cannot even imagine at this moment and I feel so ready.

I’ve never felt so ready for anything in my life.

It’s because of all the work I’ve done on myself. It’s because I finally fell in love with who I really am. It’s because I found my own strength. All of these revelations led me to meet my soul mate, my amazing and supportive husband. I could not, I would not, do this on my own. Two whole people coming together feels so secure, feels so delicious. I would only do this with him and together our love can create anything, I’ve known this and I’ve seen this, but now I actually get to grow this inside of me.

I love that this is so very the right time. I love that I am ready. I love that life changes and I’ve found such an amazing love. I love that now we get to experience it at it’s next level. So very blessed.

 

 

A True Love Baby

We conceived on our wedding day.

A day that was a true celebration of love.

We conceived with absolute love and connection.

Our expansive love, the love between my husband and I,

took the largest next step that day, that special day.

Our deepness, our connection, or growth together, our commitment to one another, to our present, to our future, with full intention and openness created as perfect of a day, a series of amazing moments that stretched out and we will now forever more, have not only the memory of that day between us, but a child conceived on that auspicious and ominous day.

It was the equinox. Where day and night were in balance.

It was my birthday. My own rebirth and I could feel it.

It was the first day of the astrological new year and the force of moving forward and going into the “new” was so strong.

Together we were able to create the most amazing gift that we will ever know.

This baby is absolutely a true LOVE baby. Absolutely.

Such a blessing.
