If everything works out well I will be a mother in June 2010. This is my first pregnancy.
I don’t forsee this blog being all about the details of my changing body and the developing body within me. I do keep a paper journal to chronicle that journey for my little one when they are older and curious. I don’t really see a need for me to keep a blog but I am going nuts not being able to tell everyone I am pregnant at this point. It is too early (I am still in the first trimester). I am researching and reading as much as I can to prep for this baby. I figure I can articulate my musings and record what I learn on this site. If I get a reader or two then that will be cool (as long as you are supportive), if not I won’t be upset.
Some things about me and this pregnancy:
- I am a yogini and will use yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breathing) as I carry this child.
- My husband and I plan to use a midwife for a home birth. Whether my body will go through with this is not up to me (stuff happens). What is up to me is to be as healthy as possible while I carry this child.
- I wish I could walk extremely lightly on the earth, but I am part of modern society. I walk the middle way, I use technology and am mindful of my resource consumption.
- I generally like to eat low on the food chain but will give in to what my body wants during this pregnancy as long as it is within reason. I do like to talk about food, and show food porn.
- I like to play.
- I enjoy taking pictures and may watermark what I take (e-mail me for permission and an image without a watermark).
- I like crafting and plan to post some of my successes, and failures.
- I am flexible and will change what I want when I want. I am also open to feedback.
