Last weekend, I did a "Labor with Love" class at Circle Yoga, where we learned about all the different stages of labor from a very thoughtful and fun yoga teacher, and then went through some positions with partners. The class was both interesting and added further to the happiness and excitement about Nico. And the group was made up of couples with one person from another country - another great detail about DC! Next weekend we do a "Birth Works" class which focuses on developing a woman's self confidence, trust and faith in her ability to give birth. I'm feeling great about these classes and the ongoing processes of both pregnancy and birth. And it feels great to think about how my happiness and excitement is likely being transmitted to Nico!
A funny and cute story - I had thought that Nico never moved around at night, as I'm never woken up from sleep by his movements. Jose, who always wakes up before me, woke one morning recently to a little kicking, specifically as Jose explained it - Nico kicked his ass! So it turns out that Nico does move around at night, but that his Mom is just a very sound sleeper!
We are at week 29 today, and will have Nico with us in just 2 and a half months!
