vernacular_life- On the way to the post office this morning, was following a dualie pickup truck..you know the kind, all flashy, the "bad boy" logo on the back window, never been off road, etc. Hanging from the back bumper were a pair of, well, rubber balls. And I mean balls as in testes. NICE.
- Got an email from the wife of my concert-english footy-pal who I thought I'd seen over the summer. Email was announcing the birth of their son. Considering that I didn't even know that she was preg, guess its been much longer than I thought since I'd seen 'em. This is the major indie-hipster couple, so can't wait to hear the details. Interesting fact that the baby's last name is hers, not his (she kept her maiden name). At first, I thought that they may have seperated, but no. Maybe she just likes her last name better than "Beaver" which is his...
-Had my last prenatal yoga class of this session - we ended with a little ceremony/ritual of lighting a candle which represented our lives pre baby, then light a new one to be 'with baby', bringing all of what we are to the present, then blowing out the first. We then thought of all that is yet to come, from the first smile to the first words to sooth a broken heart. Yeah, all 6 of us were tearing up. Definately will be taking the late winter session from Jan - April.
-Went to friend's big annual Christmas party this weekend, complete with wacky/desirable Secret Santa (target price of $15). My contribution was the Star Wars Pez Collection, and it was stolen several times. I wound up with a Lovey Lamb inflatable, um, love sheep. Surprisingly, no one stole it from me. I think it may come in handy to hand to Judd in the coming months when I'm REALLY not in the mood :P

Date: 2005-12-20 02:26 pm (UTC)In the past 3 weeks, there was a new girl who was newly pregnant (due in late June I think?), so I think its all over the place. I would say most people start in their 3rd tri b/c their doctor suggested it. I don't think many in my class had taken a lot of yoga beforehand.
I really benefited early on from learning the 'safe' way to do things early on, like how to modify twists, etc that might be taught in a class I take at work sometimes.
If anything, its a good way to start exercizing those muscles that you'll need for labor, and start practicing a couple of different breathing techiniques that can help w/ labor!
