She meant it too, if there is no blood involved you are not to disturb me when I am meditating.<br /><br />I liked this.<br /><br />I don't know if it would work for you but you might want to give it a try.thotladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877043721001181462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-2037564896820503512015-03-04T07:37:49.338-06:002015-03-04T07:37:49.338-06:00You're going to be fine.

Everything you need is already somewhere inside your head/heart/body. It'll come out when it's time. <br /><br />You've got this!SpiritPhoenixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10355755804391063416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3414435776825765041.post-48416229269745616632015-03-03T10:35:34.452-06:002015-03-03T10:35:34.452-06:00Awwww, sweetness.

In the end, you have to listen to your body and what you need because we are born with that maternal instinct and you'll ultimately know what's right for Penelope (PS: I love this name. SO MUCH). I wish you all the best. I wish I had life lessons to impart on you, or even just a pregnancy/birth story, but I've never had children. That said, it sounds like you are a great mommy and like all great moms before you, you'll do what's best by listening to your instincts. <br /><br />XOXO and I love the way you write. And how thoughtful you are in your comments :) Wanted to let you know. mypixiebloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09135461083810124483noreply@blogger.com
