I really want to keep backlogging on my blog… but the
problem is, there seems to be so much to tell and too little time to tell it
in. So, I am now taking a break from
back logging to get you all updated on the current stuff.
First of all (because I left things on such a cliff hanger),
The Husband’s eyesight is doing well now… no tumor, no crazy weird disease, no
MS (you can now sleep at night). Also, I
am still very much pregnant, so you don’t need to worry about that either.
Today my mind has been racing a million miles a minute. This is what my thought process looks like:
Baby Nursery
Chocolate
Hypnobirthing
Baby Hiccups
Wedding Cake
Clean the House!
Laundry :(
I want to read that book…
Nap Time?
Blog
Chocolate
Must Eat Healthy
Elton John
Kittens!!
My biggest problem is that when I get home from work I have
absolutely no desire to do the things I NEED or even WANT to do… and instead
end up doing what my body wants me to do… take a nap, for example.
My body also likes to go to the bathroom 50 times a
day. I’m also pretty sure my body
doesn’t like sleeping at night, because I can never seem to get comfortable
these days, thanks to my body. My body
loves to crave spicy foods, and when I cave in to those spicy food cravings, my
body enjoys giving me heartburn.
When my body does let me sleep, it likes getting Charlie
Horses in the middle of the night. It
also must HATE clothes, because I cannot seem to fit into any anymore.
This body… what a piece of work.
Really though… our bodies are amazing.
When you are in your third trimester of pregnancy (or in ANY
trimester, really), it is easy to complain about your body. But lets take a moment to ponder what a
miracle our bodies really are.
Our bodies can breathe without us telling them to.
Our heart (an essential part of our body), can pump blood
though our body without us telling it to.
Our bodies tell us when they need to be fed and watered.
Our bodies can experience things around us through sight,
smell, taste, hearing and touch.
Our bodies are constructed with strong muscles and bones
that allow us to run and walk and play.
Our bodies are covered with lovely skin that protects us.
Our bodies can even (though it really is a miracle) help
create and grow another body.
Our bodies are amazing.
Our bodies are beautiful.
It is so easy to harp on our bodies, only see their
imperfections. Sometimes when I see my
naked body staring back at me in the bathroom mirror, I want to run and
hide. It is hard to see the good in our
bodies…. But there IS good.
So, here’s the deal.
When you look at yourself in the mirror each day, try to find at least
one positive thing about your body to combat the bad. I’ve been trying it, and honestly, its
getting harder and harder for me to focus on the negative. My body rocks, and so does yours.
