Pregnancy & Emotions...let them fly, MAMA!
This was taken almost five years ago when we made the six hour drive from Encinitas to Las Vegas in about nine hours, our youngest was a newborn and you know the extra time it takes on the road. I had just thrown my sister a baby shower at Pacific Coast Grill so it was a jam-packed weekend and the tail-end of our drive was at night, both our boys were crying hysterically and the only place to stop, recharge, calm down, change diapers and refresh was McDonald's at Stateline/Primm; it was our boys' first time and it was a life-saver. That is a mural you're looking at on their wall, we haven't been there since...one of my favorite images. It's so Napolean Dynamite meets Las Vegas meets glitter glam Sparkle Motion. And. MAMAS, what's up with most kids' elation over McDonald's?

Throughout my life I’ve always been a stoic person (like my grandfather), rarely cried and dealt with my emotions in my own way. Well, you know what that means, I locked them up and kept on going. Becoming pregnant was one of the biggest joys of my life and, honestly, THE KEY I so desperately needed to unlock that emotionally clogged passageway.
I began to cry over things/movies/moments I never had before, I began to FEEL LOVE more than I ever had before, I became more sensitive & emotionally receptive but also headstrong and inquisitive. Stripping away and releasing the EMOTIONAL FAT (old heartache, vintage disenchantments, wayward dreams) I felt lighter and more free even though my belly was swelling and my responsibilities increasing.
So to all those big-bellied-mamas out there, go ahead, fly your raging-hormone-freak-flag! This is your big chance for A LIFE CLEANSE, embrace your every emotional whim, plunder & wave, allow yourself to be completely exposed to your partner & bond on another level before the newborn whirlwind begins.
Dr. Seuss said it best, “Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You”.
You-er than you, with a little you growing inside...
…a ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME PRICELESS OPPORTUNITY so don’t waste it trying to be the In-Control-You all the time, pull the cork and let those old emotions flow ALLOWING them to finally EXIT your being, once & for all!
