The day I found out, I ended up at the grocery store. My maternal instinct kicked in instantly, and since I had no food at home, I went grocery shopping. I was still in shock from the news, shopping around the store in a daze. By the time I had finished and got through the check out I realized I had bought waaay more than I could carry, doh. Luckily, my awesomest neighbor and good friend was home, so he ran over to help me, shaking his head asking what I was thinking.
Right away I started cooking at home again, researching and buying healthy food, taking prenatal vitamins, quit drinking, smoking, and letting myself sleep 10 hours a day. It's crazy how easy it was too. To be healthy for the sake of a life inside of me, but never doing it for myself. It just goes to show you how much it's all psychological.
Now I find myself with the urge to learn how to bake and knit. I want my baby to have handmade booties, and come home from school with fresh baked cinnamon buns on the counter. I want to become someone that she will be proud of, and lead by example. I am yearning to get back to my roots, surround myself with family, rediscover my spirituality, enjoy the outdoors, and exude positive energy. All the things I hope one day she will encompass.

I love this. Such powerful raw and profound thoughts. I find myself engulfed in these words as there is a huge metamorpheous unravelling in front of our eyes. Nature is a beautiful thing.
