Woo Hoo

If anyone knows my favorite comment to the newly pregnant, it's woo hoo! Well it can officially be used for me now. My beta HcG result was 121. Which the nurse said is a great initial beta. I go back on Wednesday for a repeat beta to check the numbers.

So for those thinking IVF may not work, I cut out the caffeine, ate healthy - including some macrobiotic recipes with seaweed in it, drank decaf green tea, took lots of vitamins and supplements, tried to relax with music, yoga and Julia Indichova's visualization exercises as well as prayer. Think positive!!! I'm so happy for all my blessings right now I could just burst. It was a long road getting here, but I strongly believe that I was meant to learn many lessons along the way, which I will try to stay true to.

I'm really happy for you! I am exactly where you're at - a believer in the power of positive thinking. Now I just need to apply it to myself! ;) I bought Inconceivable & The Fertile Female through Amazon so will look forward to getting those in the next few months. I guess I've had so many negatives thrown at me from a medical perspective that I end in the end believed them and pulled the plug on TTC recently. However, like you say, I think I am meant to learn from this. I meant to learn that I have the power within to create some pretty amazing things in my life. So now I see another baby for us as a possibility - not the impossibility it has seemed for so long. Your story is inspiring Heather. I wish you only the best.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
