Day 162 Raw Day 5 Diva Detox

I had a beautiful day today! Had friends over for our Book Club... we are supposed to be reading David Wolfe's Sunfood Diet Success System.. but we did not quite get to that.
I had started thinking I was pregnant... my husband and I have been trying on and off for maybe a year now... meaning we would start trying and chicken out. But the last 3 months had been real trying... but with me being a bit hesitant and still feeling like we should go for it. Anyway, I had had a mishap with a pregnancy test and it had a really light second line (not even pink)... I really thought that it was a false test... I had done it wrong... so, I kept waiting... started this detox felt like I was probably going to start, etc. Well, yesterday, I just started feeling pregnant and I was headed towards a few days late at least and I started thinking I need to take another test... I got it all ready and ended up waisting my mourning pea.... got up about 3am. Anyway, my friends convinced me to take it in the afternoon.....

I am pregnant!!!! !!!!!
So excited. And my husband is going to be very happy.

Anyway I ate 100% raw today but did have some nuts... I just want to make sure I am getting enough calories! I have some heavy reading to do on raw pregnancy. This is taking me to a whole new level. I still hope to get below 200 lbs before the week is over... so when I go to my first visit and step on the scale it will be with my head held high!

But back to the baby. I told Astrid and James... and called my dad and let Astrid tell him. I told Vyk last night and this morning I thought I was pregnant... but Astrid and I have put two temporary tattos on my belly one with a female symbol and one with a male symbol.

This goes back to telling him about Astrid.. I met him for dinner at a restaurant and after we ate I lifted up my shirt to a little fish tattoo on my belly. I told him there was something swimming in there... and he knew we were pregnant. I had saved the male female symbols secretly just in case we needed to use them... so they were ready to go for the big night!

I am thinking we will have Astrid snuggled into bed and reading stories and have her tell Vyk... Hey! Look at mom's stomach.. it is some weird detox thing... and then he will see the tattoos and know. Astrid has already made a shirt that says "I LOVE BABIES" and one for the baby that says "I LOVE SIS". She is soooooo excited! Excited does not describe it. She says it is the best day of her life! And it probably is! She is drawing pictures all in blue and pink with names over them. James, who I really thought would be a little less than thrilled... esp since he told me it was not OK with him for me to have a baby... is really happy! He was hugging me and smiling and bluntly saying he was happy... which does not happen hardly ever. So that really was sweet!

Part of me is just a little worried about slowing down progress. I was on a roll... and it kind of would have been nice to get to say 160 and then get pregnant. But, the truth is I have been doing this forever... I told myself along time ago (and Vyk) we would get pregnant after I lost 30 lbs, because then I would weigh less than I did when I got pregnant with Astrid. But, then I thought that was not enough... and I was not sure... and I did not feel healthy... then I felt good, but wanted to do more first then I relapsed and wished I had done it when I was on an up turn. So now, on an upturn, I am going to be happy and rejoice this new life!

Happy Baby Day!
