Still Joyfully Pregnant and Contentedly Waiting

"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praise worthy--think on these things." Philippians 4:8

I feel so good. Crazy, huh? 2 wks ago I was miserable. Every part of my body ached, my cervix felt abused, my feet began to swell to look like piggy feet and ancles and I think DH was going to commit me if I didn't stop complaining and whinning. I woke up every morning crying because I was still pregnant. I was just sooo focused on getting this baby out! I wasn't truly listening to my body. I was listening to my emotional desires, my aches and pains. Not fun to ignore. I don't think I should have ignored them, but just accept them. Embrace them as apart of growing this beautiful baby inside me.
After trying the castor oil and baby didn't come, I woke up the next morning renewed. I placed a smile apon my face and decided to finish this pregnancy with a joyful attitude and not an attitude of negativity. I truly believe that attitude affects our view on things. I've always believed 90% attitude, 10%life). My body feels so much better. I'm not feeling the constant aches and brittleness of my hips any longer. The edema in my feet has completely disappeared and I just feel happy and content when it comes to being pregnant right now. I still dream almost every night about this birth and finally meeting baby, but it's a welcoming dream and not a pleading dream for baby to come out!
Sometimes it's easy to loose focus of our beliefs, no matter how passionate we are about them. When things get tough , human nature tends to take over and we become negative and discontented. I've done a lot of talking to God lately and reading scripture. I was able to re-focus on truth and that feels good.
It's been raining so much here. I love it. Seems to coincide with my re-newed outlook...being washed, clean, and can see clearly. I hope it rains when I do go into labor. I'd love to hear the rain while bringing baby into this world.
