1. Got a call from ORM today. My thyroid test came back normal. Whew! I m so glad I don’t have to be on thyroid medication for my entire pregnancy. Once again, I’m grateful for ORM’s prudence.
2. As for the antibiotic, I’ll be taking that though. At first I didn’t want to because I don’t think they are healthy for my body. But, after I called Caitlin she explained the purpose of them and I realized that it’ll be a good idea to just do what they say. So, I took the pills and called Caitlin back the next day. I told her I was sorry I was being a pain. She assured me I wasn’t but maybe she’s just being nice.
I realized… these people KNOW how to get a girl pregnant. And me calling them to see if I “really have to take that drug?” every other day, is totally counter productive to our shared mission.
Ahem. So. Embarrassment aside, I told Caitlin that I’m “Comply All” from now on. She laughed and we had a little love fest. I told her I didn’t want to do anything to upset her-s he’s been so, so great. She told me that Gina and I are super easy to work with. I told her I’d promise to keep it that way. When I got off the phone I sent her a thank you card.
3. I had acupuncture today. It was so good. She did balancing and grounding stuff. Told me my uterus still feels kinda cold and that I need to really start eating more warming foods. I pulled out my food list and promptly made some lamb marinara sauce and then took a nap. No more ice cream, cottage cheese or lemonade (all cold/cooling foods) for me. Bring on the trout, lamb, sweet potatoes, kale and figs (all warming foods).
4. Last but not least, we are starting to tell more friends about our process now. Our inner circle. It’s so fun and such a relief to tell the people we love and who love us. Slow but sure, more people know. Their excitement for us just feeds me!
5. The Core Energetics training I did last weekend was intense. Good in so many ways but also so intense. Like, lower self, rage, dark side intense. In the end, I realized that this level of intense training just isn’t going to be conducive to my being pregnant (particularly the first trimester when most of the training is this year). So, with a lot of sadness, I’m going to forego the group training this year. I’ll do 1:1 supervision as needed and then also focus on learning more on somatics and trauma from and with a trusted colleague. I feel like this is really the right path for me and this unborn baby.
That’s all for now. Getting ready for the Restoring Power Winter Retreat this weekend. Gina will be with me. I am so, so looking forward to it.
With love,
regina
