baby
i finally went to the doctor's on friday.. i <3 my doctor. she is sweet and funny, and easy and natural to talk with.. i found out that i am a lot farther along than i thought.. that explains the big belly :) i am 21 weeks.. 5 months and a week. sam and i got to hear our baby's heart beat.. it was so amazing and beautiful, my eyes filled with tears. and it is such an active baby.. it moves so much, mostly in the evening. it is very quiet and observant during the day it seems.. all i can say is that i am so in love with this little creature. i already cannot imagine my life without it.. sometimes i cry because i am so glad to have it in my life, and feel so blessed with this beautiful life.. <3
hopefully this week i am going to be able to get an ultrasound and see its little body. it is too exciting to even think about! all i want is to be the best person that i can be and live from my soul, for myself, my baby, and for my loved ones. tomorrow i will try to take some photos of the belly.. it's so much bigger now!
today i did an hour of ballet.. my body and abilities have changed so much, but i am completely accepting of that. even though i am a perfectionist, i do not let that make me feel discouraged. being pregnant is such a temporary thing, and i want to love it and enjoy it as much as i can. it's a beautiful feeling..
i think later i'm going to do some yoga.. i have a prenatal yoga video that i really love (even if it's a little old and cheesy) and it's a good complement to ballet. and it makes me feel so relaxed.. i love the focus on the breath. i feel like my baby is getting lots of healthy oxygen :)
christmas is coming so soon... of course i am excited for it <3 i have already done lots of my shopping and i hope to make my loved ones feel very happy and loved! i have made some very cute hand-made things for some of my family, but i can't exactly say what they are because someone i know reads this and they are going to get one! but they are very beautiful and cute and uniquely made by me :)
