Spent the weekend in the saddle. I think it did me a lot of good. I used to revolve around my husband, always waiting to see what he wanted to do. In retrospect, I think I was putting some of the things that I love on the back-burner especially my horses. I guess sometimes you've got to lose something to find yourself again.
A friend of mine sent me a doppler so that I can listen to the baby's heartbeat. I was having a particularly rough day today and went home at lunch and just listened to him for about fifteen minutes. I really am in love with this baby. I'm reconsidering naming him Luke. Part of me feels that it the best Karma I can deliver. But then part of me wonders when he is 10 yrs old and asks how I came up with his name just how comfortable I will be lying to him as I don't want this baby to feel branded just because of his father's actions. No final decisions have been made yet.
I like the name Keegan. It is an old Gaelic name which fits right in with my heavy Irish last name, which I am legally returning to in the next week or so. It means little fiery one. Probably fits right in with my personality.
I'm not sure where I am weight-wise. I ate quite a bit yesterday which was probably needed to make up for last week's near anorexic experience. I think the horseback riding made me feel happier and helped rejuvenate an appetite. It was a much better alternative to my mother showing up at my office and practically force feeding me chicken noodle soup again. I shouldn't be losing weight during the pregnancy, at least not at this point. But I found that choking down anything last week was a chore. I am trying to do better even if half of my calories are coming from liquid sugars today. Today's food journal needs to be swapped out with yesterday's. I logged them on the wrong dates and just don't feel compelled enough to individually swap out the foods. I think I will do a session of Zumba tonight too. I need to keep doing things that make my heart sing even when the song is little more than a hum.

Is horseback ridding a good idea while pregnant? Some doctors say that even ridding a bicycle is not good because of the bumps in the road. I like both names, you still have a lot of time to decide.

My OB permitted it so long as I stay on horses that are well-trained. Of course, I did argue that driving in a car is equally unsafe. I rode quite a bit before the pregnancy and am sticking to horses that are very mild mannered. I think for my own mental health I need to ride, even if I am taking it easy (no cantering, etc.)

Glad to see you back and taking charge of your life. I've always found the company of animals very therapeutic - they don't judge you and they make wonderful listeners.

Happy to hear from you, you read to be doing okay. Glad you're getting back to you, and that you have such a powerful connection with your little man. I like the name Keegan as well, but you've plenty of time yet to mull through names. I've always wanted to ride a horse, but I've never gotten the opportunity. I imagine it must be simply wonderful. Eat well, and keep taking care of both of you. lots of love and thoughts always heading your way :)

That's my girl you find the things you love and have missed and have fun with them. A name that fits your roots sounds great, something to be proud of, although Luke is a lovely name too, it won't matter what you name your little man, cause you will love him to bits no matter what. Just replace one tear for one smile every day and before you know it you won't be shedding any more tears. Ride your horses, be at one with nature, you'll heal and be fine. Big hugs Buny1
