Third Tri's a Charm

Okay, why am I awake at 6 am?

The pain in my pubic bone has decreased dramatically...my stress levels have increased. The baby is quite active at this point. The only pain I can really complain about is the charleyhorse I had the other morning that has left my leg sore. I think it's all the running around I've been doing and the yoga I have not been doing.

Plus I'm just so excited about getting the house shit together. I hope it all works out.

We start our birthing classes next week. We're going to do both Conscious Birthing and Hypnobirthing! I like what I've read about both of them.

At the reading last night I met a lactation consultant who works at the hospital where we plan to give birth.

Just a few weeks ago I was in a prenatal yoga teacher training and there was a labor and delivery nurse taking the class with me who also works at the same hospital.

I don't know if this is the Universe's way of helping me by introducing me to these women or what.

I do know that I liked both of them, a lot. The lactation consultant is particularly hilarious and gave me her card. We can also take classes from her, if we wanna.

I don't know if this is a hormonal thing or not, but I've become way less interested in being pregnant and way more interested in how the hell we are going to care for a newborn.

The list of choices for diapers, for example, is overwhelming.

Cribs.

Bottles and breastfeeding accessories.

Another cool thing about the reading last night: my gynecologist was there! (I hadn't invited her, so she just heard about it through the grapevine...the event was sold out, capacity crowd.)

Now THAT is supportive.
