Counting Back my Days

Kristen • 1st Baby Girl due January 22, 2020!

My husband and I are pagan (him Druid, me Wiccan) and have been for almost a year now. Well, we are almost 13 weeks pregnant with our first child. We had been trying for 2 years with no success. Just this last week I was going back through the calendar to try and figure out around when I conceived (I have very irregular periods and ovulation). It seems that it was Beltane! My first actual Beltane that I actually celebrated. I did do fertility rituals and prayers that whole week!! I guess I'm not surprised. The gods have been so good to us. I just wish we were out of the broom closet so I could talk about it more. Which leads to our issue with our very religious (read: Christian) families. We want to do a naming ceremony for baby but I am so not sure how to go about it when they don't even know that we renounced their god long ago. (I was never very "Christian" growing up but it wasn't until my sweet husband reminded me that I can choose my life...and my gods) Anyway, this mega devolved from announcing my Beltane Blessing to worry. Pregnancy brain I guess...
