My Pregnancy Formula

Today I am pregnant. I pray that God sees fit to let us keep and raise this one a lot longer. I have no idea how far along I am yet because everything was pretty normal until last week, but judging from my body this week about 6 to 8 weeks. Hopefully I'll find out for sure next week. After the storm and outages, the earliest I can get an appointment is Tuesday. I normally wouldn't say anything until after I hit the 13 week mark. Those that know my history of losses will understand why,  but I did say I would live out loud. Anyway if you saw me right now, it would be completely obvious so I'm hopeful. We believe it's a boy. My husband picked the name Gary Christopher Stargell. My nickname for him will be Juicy because 3 days after I found out I was pregnant I got really juicy and plump out of the blue. I found out Wednesday, Then I decided to catch up on rest due to the storm and by Saturday looked like a completely different person. We have a girl name picked too just in case, but don't think we'll need it this time.  My husband asked my body if it were multiples and the sex yesterday. My body responded single baby and boy. I won't tell how he does it, but my body responds to my husbands voice.  He can ask my body certain questions and it will respond accurately. Sounds weird and crazy I know, but so far it's been accurate so I'm anxious to see the outcome of the baby.At the beginning of the year,  he asked my body would I bare more children and it said yes. It turns out the same things that prevent me from growing cancer also encourages my body to get pregnant. I followed the same formula when I got pregnant with Tre' and  Juicy  in hopes of preventing cancer (not getting pregnant) and it includes the following:

• Trust in God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
• Stress Reduction/Elimination
• Healthy Eating/ Nutrition
• Exercise
• Detox/Naturopathic Care
• Chiropractic Care
• Thankfulness/Temperance
• Spontaneous Intimacy

The only things I implemented when I had my miscarriage in August was trust in God and thankfulness. Even though I had Godly trust and thankfulness, I lacked understanding. I was stressed out and unfortunately a good portion of it came from Christian sources. In addition, I wasn't eating healthy. During that time the only exercise I did was walking my dogs for 15 minutes every day. I did no alternative medicines unless my health got really bad. Even though there was intimacy, most of the time it was not spontaneous because I lacked energy. I'll blog on each point in more detail in the coming weeks (only b/c I believe it may help someone somewhere) and the differences between this pregnancy and my pregnancy with Tre'.

Thankful but nervous, hoping and praying for the best.
