Becoming a Calm Mom Book Review

Leave a Comment on Becoming a Calm Mom Book Review

I was browsing Pinterest sometime before Kason was born and I came across this book called “Becoming a Calm Mom.” I felt like it was something I needed in my life. I was worried I would be frustrated with a newborn and upset with how things were going to be from here on out. I’m …

  • I’ve been seeing my NaPro doctor on and off for the past 3 months. He did several ultrasounds (himself I might add) to see if I had follicles growing, to see what position my uterus is in, and check to see if I ovulated. We did blood tests to check my progesterone and estrogen levels. . My follicles weren’t getting big enough (around 19-22mm) and they like them between 23-25mm. My progesterone declined drastically a few days after my LH surge. Once I saw that, I knew my period was going to start. . So they put me on Clomid for a few cycles as well as progesterone suppositories. The goal is to have bigger better quality eggs, and a higher progesterone level. . The beginning of December I started taking 2 additional supplements; Taurine, and Turmeric. Taurine is needed for early human development (preimplantation), and needed if you are suffering from excessive estrogen, it is also supposed to help reverse insulin resistance. Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant and is an anti-inflammatory and have read it helps with women who have endometriosis. 🤞🏻Hoping these along with Clomid help some eggs grow to be the right size!

  • Why would hate such a burden to bear? Have you ever thought of that? Is it a burden to love then too? How do you feel with feelings of anger and hate inside you vs feelings of love, compassion, and charity? Can love and hate survive together, no. I think we feel more burdens with feelings of anger, hate, and resentment, than with love. I’ve learned a lot about the power of words and how they impact ice (yes, ice of all things) and plants. If words can impact plants and ice then they most definitely can impact our hearts and other people. So today i’m remembering to love more and to work towards being anti-racist, watching my language, the shows I watch, by teaching our children to be anti-racist, and by standing by my friends of color, because LOVE is more powerful than hate.
  • This Made with Love baby bodysuit is perfect for a Valentine’s Day pregnancy announcement or to celebrate Valentine’s Day with your miracle. . This baby bodysuit design comes in 2 colors, red and black.
  • I can’t believe it’s been 9 months. We’ve almost experienced all 4 seasons without Ethan. Looking at pictures of last April, I see a family so heartbroken for the loss of their son. I see so much pain and love in those photos. I still have thoughts of “it’s not fair,” and when I think those, I remember what my friend (who lost her son when he was 3) said, “this is how it should be, because this is how it is.” I feel it sounds harsh, but that’s the reality. We are living each day without Ethan, missing out on ALL of those memories that we would’ve had. This is how it should be. I’m not happy about how it should be, but this is how it is. . Sending love to all my friends who have lost a baby. I’d love to remember your baby! Would you comment below (or DM) with your babies name and birthdate?
