I love you’re writing. I’m leading a positive psychotherapy group right now, which includes psychoeducation about savoring. I thought, this is a great example of the effects of savoring…I might share it with the group.

Love you!

“your children,” he said “are going to be amazing teachers for you.” -That is a universal truth as far as I can see.

Stay warm, your blood used to be thicker and it will remember what to do eventually. In the mean time… it’s the perfect time for snuggling and extra blankets.

Dear Cricket,

YOu are on the mama path, not the easiest for sure, actually one of the most difficult I think; to be a protector , a nurturer, a cook, a writer, a lover… it is like asking the best of yourself constantly, isn’t it. I was reminded not too long ago that my best fluctuates everyday, today’s best is different from yesterday and my mind wants to compare them but all I can do is my best and i am very inspired to see you do that on your mothering path. Congratulation for the new seed and may it grow healthy in your womb.
I am back in Key West and I hope to see you and your little family soon. I really look forward to it. I am going to send an email with my yoga schedule, stay tuned!1 first class this coming Sunday at Fort Zach under the pine trees!
Much, much love to you
Celine

Sweet Cricket,you are pregnant again!!!!!!!I didn’t know but I’m soooooooo happy for you!!I had this sudden urge to look into your website(which i used to do a lot this summer while I was pregnant with Silvi) and now i know why!I even downloaded the radio station your show is on so i can listen to you every monday!Anyway,you got me so emotional my heart is about to explode!Soooooo happy for you………….
Anyway,yes,I can 100% relate to the way you feel,your fears,anxiety,tiredness,nausea,the crackers,breastfeeding a toddler when realizing I am pregnant,the doubts,the sleeping between baby and boyfriend………………
The way I feel these days is little overwhelmed and lets face it-guilty.Guilty of not being able to spend as much time as i used to with my first child,overwhelmed with love for them both,taking care of them and forgetting about myself,sometimes not realizing i”m alive because I forget to take care of myself,look at myself or even ask myself if I need anything.It’s all for them-my little ones.And although sometimes I feel like I should be upset about the way my life is right now-totally the opposite of what it used to be 3 years ago-I feel happy and complete in my exhaustion and longing to be closer to my husband who can’t even hug me some days!!But now I even like him more-when I watch him change diapers,talk and smile to the baby,make our older one a sandwich and realize me and him are never going to be the same again as a relationship.
I’m sorry I’m jumping from one thing to the other but I’m so emotional right now I’m forgetting my bad English!
Anyway,you are awesome and you’ve been inspiring me for the longest time and I know you feel a little unsure right now with having another baby while raising a toddler but it will all come together,it somehow always does,doesn’t it?
I didn’t know how I was going to make itI was so tired the second time around,with nausea and I hated watching my son beg me to play with him while I could barely get up!But I somehow made it through.You will too.Support was a great helper for me.Friends=Peace and Strength.Surround yourself with it,swim in it!
I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy,the nausea will go away!!!
Seava will be a great helper for you,I know it!
I love you and I’ll be waiting to see pictures of your beautiful new baby!!

Comment on Ocean birth how-to… by Miriam

Hi
I am a midwife in South Florida. I just attended my first ocean birth. It was amazing. I cannot wait until the next dedicated mama comes looking for an ocean birth. Do you know if anyone is collecting data?

Have fun with real life. LOL I couldn’t get away from the internet if I tried. I get bored then I’m right back on. And if I don’t have something to snack on I get even more bored. xD

I am struggling with similar time-managment/ quality time issues (for self and family and work-for-pay). I have a seven year old, but some of these issues have nothing to do with age of the child, just with staying true to our authentic values. Good luck with the break, hope you come back to offer more nice tidbits like the above, and your poetry.

Excellent work. ee cummings would be proud… though his own stuff was much more odd and indirect than your poem. Keep telling your daughter story, and yours…

Awwwww. It’s been lovely dipping in and out of your blog. Your last post is an inspiration – it is not hard to spend lots of time living virtually, I find, and with a new little one, time is so different than it ever was. Best wishes to you and your family.
