Well, we have gone to 2 birthing classes so far. I like them. Our teacher's house is gorgeous! The first class they told us to do deep squats a couple times a day, a yoga pose called cat/cow 5 times a day, walk at least 5 min a day, and hip abductor exercises 5 per day. I like the other people in the class. There are seven other couples and we are all having our first babies. The second week we discussed nutrition. Wow, I am supposed to eat a lot of protein. So We have been making beans and I bought some chicken sausages for lunch. In each class they teach us a relaxation technique also. The first was a tense and release exercise to teach Albert how to recognize when I am tensing certain parts of my body so he can help me relax. The second one was an imagination one were Albert helps me visualize a shower or something to relax myself. Albert says he thinks the classes are interesting. I have to miss the class next week to go to Phoenix (Yeay!!) but I am about to read over that chapter.
Albert has been very good with these. Although he isn't reading the book like I keep asking him to. My belly is getting grander and grander. I am not fitting into very many clothes anymore, but I bought this elastic band so that hopefully I can continue to wear my pants for a little while longer. We started trying to figure out the babysitting schedule too. I think we will be able to cover all the days and no one will have to work less. I hope I get a better job though.
Olivia moves more and more everyday. The other day I got a pain in my side and she started kicking it! I have been playing music for her with headphones pushed up against my belly. She doesn't move for Beethoven but she does for Bob Marley ! :) I bought her a few books this week too, Buenas Noches, Luna and a book about Hindu Gods. Sammy and Piper are already arguing about who is going to read the Hindu book to her :)
Well, only 15 more weeks!
