Im feeling guilty because I havent posted, but there seriously isnt anything to report. Im not holding out on anyone, I promise. I WISH I could post that Im feeling the baby and I have a big ol bump, but I just dont! Im trying to enjoy this time before I turn huge, but Im also excited to start feeling and looking pregnant. Ill let yall know when that happens.
In the mean time, the only pregnancy-related activity ive done is take a prenatal yoga class. There is a yoga studio in the building next to us, so it was super convenient but a little hokey. There were only 3 of us in the class – the other 2 girls were much further along and we spent a lot of time ‘breathing to our baby’. Im not very familiar with yoga, so when we started doing ‘Lion’s Breath’, lets just say I was caught a little off guard and had to stop myself from LOLing all over the place. Heres a little tutorial: http://www.examiner.com/yoga-in-dallas/pranayama-lion-s-breath . And yes, we looked like the guys in that picture. Once we got past that, I actually learned a lot of good poses and it was fun to be around other pregnant women. So ill probably head back next week!
Im still not in pregnancy clothes yet, but I have started using the bella band my mom/sister got me for christmas. From ingrid and isabel:
This allows me to unbutton my pants and not have them fall down. (And are slightly more stylish than suspenders.) Andrew said he could use one of these for bowl week. I wholeheartedly agree – I wish I would have owned one of these things before I got pregnant. My work pants have morphed into yoga pants. Its awesome. Thanks Mom/Wendy!
It would be pretty sweet if you learned the Lions Roar. Then you could kick Axe Gang ass while giving birth. But I wouldn’t expect them to teach that in the introductory course…
haha. I had to look it up but im not nearly as sweet as this lady.
