you are so wise, mama! This is the beauty of 3rd (or 4thplus, for that matter) pregnancy’s and i am fairly confident you will continue to feel the same once the baby comes. you just tuck them in your sling and keep going…..

so excited for you and your family and your boatbirth LOL

I blame television for the climate of fear and loathing we dwell in.

I stumbled on this quotation this morning while looking for something else, but it seemed just *so* applicable:

“We cannot control life’s difficult moments but we can choose to make life less difficult. We cannot control the negative atmosphere of the world, but we can control the atmosphere of our minds. Too often we try to choose and control things we cannot. Too seldom we choose to control what we can — our attitude.”
- John Maxwell

Postive energy for baby OH YES. Happy, Sunny, Beautiful,Smiling~Postive. The other is just a waste. All pregnancy have a risk, good thing we ignore it or no babies would be born.

I wish people would apply such a philosophy–and their personal energy–to more things in their lives. Turning such energy–and time–toward things we can influence is a much better alternative.
