Yoga Teacher Training

So, the best thing I have done so far in this pregnancy is start my yoga teacher/therapist training. It is a six month program and I graduate a few days before the baby is born. I am blessed to be studying at Kula Kamala Yoga in Lakehurst. My teacher Sharon is an amazing woman. I think this experience is so great for the baby too. Not only the physical portion of the yoga but the peacefulness, the meditation and the chanting. Plus it has to make it easier for childbirth. My classes run every other weekend Friday nights and Saturday and Sunday from 12-8pm. I am very thankful to Ed for supporting me in doing this class. Without his support I wouldn't have done it.

Yoga does a body good inside and out.
Namaste.

Last Doctors appointment

WOW! I've been slacking with this blog! I was at the doctor over two weeks ago. Everything is going as planned. I've been learning so much from the Bradley Method so the next visit I'm going to have a lot of questions for my doctor. Plus I'm working on my birthing plan with Ed so our wishes are clear. I'm feeling the baby move a lot today. It kind of tickles a bit. Sleeping at night is not so great! I guess this is God's way of preparing me for no sleep once the baby arrives!

We find out if we are having a girl or boy on October 15. I can not wait to know. I initially thought a girl and kind of still do. However, everyone but my mom thinks it's a boy. It should be interesting to find out.

Sorry for the late update. Promise to keep you posted on the October 15th visit!

Birthing Class

So, last night we went to our first birthing class. I'm choosing to go natural so as a recommendation from my friend Maria we are doing The Bradley Method. We have about 8 weeks of this class and I learned sooo much last night. I'm really excited we chose this method. Tomorrow I have my monthly visit and I am dreading the fact that they have to draw more blood...YUK!!

Talk to you soon!

Baby Bump

Well, it's here! A small little baby bump! Although, a lot of people say I don't really look pregnant, those who see me a lot notice the baby bump right away. It's amazing how great I feel now!! I'm so excited! I'm still a bit tired but who cares at least I am not nauseous anymore!
I should put some pics up this week for everyone to see the actual baby bump.

We have our monthly doctors appointment next week which is always exciting. In a way it makes it feel more real...lol

Keep you posted!
