Mine is an odyssey of grace.

Unapologetically Christian and Pro-life. this blog is whatever I feel like reblogging, at random times. I'm a LOTR fan, so you'll get a lot of that.

Things I have learned from my personal experience with pregnancy, labor, and postpartum:

Pregnancy is uncomfortable but looking back on it, it’s such a blip in my life. It’s very temporary.

My baby kicking me constantly was annoying until I didn’t feel her kick for a few hours, then I worried something was wrong with her (she was just sleeping).

My daughter looked exactly like her ultrasound images and 3D images, and her behavior outside the womb was very similar to inside the womb.

Maternity clothes are great for the weeks after birth.

Labor was pretty chill until contractions ramped up. Epidural came in clutch. I felt nothing while pushing.

I personally didn’t feel connected to my daughter when she was born. It took like a week or two for me to feel any maternal bond to her.

Labor wasn’t as bad as recovery — that part sucked. But again, so temporary. I felt so much better a week after delivery.

Breastfeeding is hard and painful at the start.

Pregnancy, labor, and recovery really are just a blip in my life now.

What is forever is being her mom — raising her, nursing her, putting her needs before mine.

For those facing unintended or unwanted pregnancies, just remember pregnancy and labor are temporary. If you’re not ready for the forever of caring for a child, someone else is and would love to adopt that baby. My best friend was one of those people and her adopted daughter is so loved and I’m excited for my daughter to grow up with her.

It feels intimidating that I’m now a parent to my daughter forever, but I don’t want to live life without her.

I know I sound like your mom but you kids need to stop fucking vaping

[joshgrobanscock]

1) Vaping is confirmed to cause cancer. Vaping coats the lungs with toxic substances, such as heavy metals and benzene, which are known to cause cancer

2) Many vapes contain diacetyl, which, when inhaled causes popcorn lung, or scarring of the lung

3) Ultrafine particles, when being inhaled, can be lodged in the trachea (not good!)

4) Ultrafine particles can also constrict the arteries in the lungs potentially causing A HEART ATTACK

5) Vaping is relatively new. Not much studies have been done in comparison to tobacco. Plus, the vaping companies are powerful people. There is a large chance that they are purposely downplaying and even burying any evidence that vaping is harmful - just like the tobacco companies before them. They do not care about you, or your health, or the truth. They only care for money

[letsoulswander]

Also STOP VAPING INDOORS AROUND OTHER PEOPLE. Holy shit, if you're gonna wreck your lungs at least give me the option not to wreck mine.

It’s such an issue that the MTA had to run a campaign about it

[yeahokayillreblogthat]

yeah okay ill reblog that

[stripedroseandsketchpads]

Please I’m begging yall as an asthmatic, your fruit-flavored vapor will still give people around you who are smoke-sensitive attacks. So will weed. Don’t do it inside; if you’re at a bus stop or something try to not stand right next to people or move downwind of them if you can.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

“If I had time travel I’d kill Hitler” “If I had time travel I’d stop my favourite politician getting assassinated” you’re all thinking way too small. If I had time travel I’d stop Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin from dying on the moon due to Soviet sabotage, kicking off the Great Nuclear War and devastating half of the planet.

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

[mumblesplash]

so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth 💕

one of the funniest parts in Fellowship will always be when Aragorn approaches the hobbits at the Prancing Pony and he asks them "but how are you sure that I'm not a spy from Sauron sent to lead you astray" and Frodo's response is "Well I think a servant of Sauron would look hotter than you but have worse vibes" to which Aragorn responds "So I look like shit but I passed your vibe check, is that it?" and nobody denies it

[notahorseindisguise]

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

[hiveswap]

While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive

[midnight-revolucion]

alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife

when my littlest brother was a toddler he was apparently under the impression that you could get meat out of an animal without killing it in the same way you could get milk or eggs.

he expressed this as "the farmer milks the cow and then he porks the pig"

[bgm05]

wow players having to stand in lines for a quest because a relevant npc can only talk to one player at a time. is the funniest image on the planet

[bgm05]

i need to correct this: wow classic doesn’t have any npcs that can only talk to one player at a time. these lines actually formed for a quest npc that players had to kill to complete the objective. knowing that i think this image is even funnier.
