Smoothies and Preggoness

So, I've not started juicing yet, but I have fully and totally and blissfully re-embraced my morning smoothie. I prefer simpler smoothies, so I make this every morning:

OJ (with vitamin C, calcium, and Vitamin D)
Spinach
Bananas

The Vitamin C helps me absorb the desperately essential iron in spinach, the Vitamin D helps me absorb the calcium. The orange juice is NOT raw, but it is simpler for me to buy Trader Joe's OJ with Vitamin D than juice oranges and add a liquid D supplement. I could definitely go outside and get my D from the sunshine, but the biting cold really hurts my skin and bones right now.

I have eating mostly vegan and significantly increasing my rawness (75ish%). I can already feel a MARKED improvement. Last night when I went potty, I piddled, wiped, washed my hands and realized that I hadn't even THOUGHT about doing it. For the past two months with the tumors pressing against my bladder, urinating was extremely painful to the point of tears. I would cry, pray, and say positive mantras just to go to the bathroom. Last night, I went like a 'normal' person - it didn't hurt at all and I didn't have to continuously repeat "I am a phoenix rising" just to stand from the toilet. HOW FRIGGIN' AWESOME!

I start my natural birthing class tonight! I decided that I was going to put my positive intentions fully into having Chase naturally instead of constantly planning for my tumors to grow, requiring me to need a c-section. I emailed a local center and, shockingly (or is it?), they had a class starting tomorrow (today!). Shockingly (OR IS IT?), she had one spot left, so Jeremy and I snatched it!

I am loving life as it is, but my future goals include juicing and having more days fully raw while maintaining a healthy caloric intake. Oo, and doing a little prenatal yoga. I need to start practicing my keigels!
