7wks +1 day Pregnant

Still on bed rest ... I was able to move my u/s appt. up to monday instead of tuesday.  The Reiki class went very well.  It was a long day, sitting up for most of the time (still in bed).  Towards 2:00 I started getting really bad cramps so I layed down.  By that time I was ready to have some work done on me.  When my instructor got to my belly my pains went away completely, but then came back when she left there.  Other than that I really didn't feel much of anything.  This doesn't discount the validity of Reiki, I'm just very challenged in the energy modalities.  I have to practice on myself everyday for at least the next 21 days.  Hopefully I will gain some sensitivity to sensing the energy.   I usually fall asleep during the self-treatment and I can't do the back positions because my arms fall asleep before I do.  I have noticed that I'm sleeping better and am less worried about the baby than I was during the beginning of the week.  

As I've mentioned before, I've been doing some self-hypnosis and I truly FEEL like the blood clot is almost gone and I had a dream about the baby's heartbeat.  I, along with other people and a dog (?) went to this healing spring and we were told that the only way we could drink from it was to drink directly from it while we were in the spring, hence no cups or hand scooping.  I don't know if this is important to know, it's just what happened.  It does add a gross-factor, but what the heck, it was a sacred place.  So we all jump into the spring and I let myself sink underwater and take a big gulp and then in the quiet, I hear the heartbeat -- beating loud, FAST and clear.  So, I'm no longer worried (as much).  I'm anxiously awaiting tomorrow's ultrasound.

Thinking good thoughts for your appointment tomorrow! Isn't it amazing how some dreams can really have a calming power over you?


Thank you, God, for blessing us with a successful full term pregnancy and for helping me recognize and receive your guidance and healing power as our baby grows in my womb.  I know that we are being blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby, and I thank you for your loving presence in our lives.  Amen.
