My Seed and Bean

At the ripe old age of 28 I have discovered that I'm going to be a mother. The thing about it is that I knew. I knew I was pregnant before I went to the OBGYN, I knew I was pregnant before I took on any symptoms and I knew I would be a mother soon. For some reason I just knew. It wasn't as if I had done something differently in my routine of life. It wasn't as if something miraculous had taken place in my mind to let me know that Empress this year you're going to be a mother. I just knew. I will say that I was in a really good spiritual place this year though, especially over the summer leading up to the conception of my Seed and Bean. The fact of the matter is I've never had more clarity and never been so strong as I've been this year. Not only that but I realized just how many people really truly love me. So it happened I'm pregnant. And the only thing I could think about was okay let's get ready! Little did I know what lay ahead for me.

So my big sister and I (Earth Crysis) were discussing my pregnancy and soon too be children. We were talking about how much trouble I was having finding things to accommodate two babies. [I mean you would think that having twins was some anomaly or something] It seemed to me as if the whole world had not caught up to the idea that women have been having twins for ages now. I mean come on having twins in 2010 is like run of the mill compared to the multiples women are having these days, but nonetheless there seemed to be some sort of shortage in items for twins. So Earth came up with the brilliant idea that I should blog about not being able to find accommodating strollers or multiple car seats, having to driving all over town searching for bulk organic diapers and wipes and so on. [in the age of technology there has to be someone who can relate] I believe the hardest thing for me was realizing that there just aren't enough items available for mothers of multiples unless you are willing to pay and I mean PAY! Thus this blog was born.

I hope that my struggles, triumphs, pains and cravings along this pregnancy help some other mother or at least inspire some major company out there to get up and make more products for mothers and their twins or triplets or quads etc. Because for goodness sake we need convenience just as much if not MORE than a mother with a single baby!

until later
Love and light from the Empress (Seed and Bean)
