31 weeks

Alright... here it is. Thanks to KJ for not keeping silent any longer....finally a belly shot and a piece of the nursery all in one. La is still working on some canvas prints for the walls but behind me you see the tree she painted. We'll post a completed pic when it is done. And here I am just home from a 12 hour shift... 31wks ! today!! :-)

Fo Real...

La felt the baby move for real this morning. She thought she had a couple weeks ago but figured out today that she really had. Our pea pod moves around all the time. I love it! We put up a little guessing game for the date/size etc... so take a guess.

We are reading a few childbirth books--- I.na Mae Gaskin's Guide. The Br.adley Method. Hyp.nobirthing. I am thinking about taking the hypnobirthing class. Anybody have any experience with hypnobirthing? I have not had many patients use it but I like the philosophy the best so far. La said she is fine with hypno 'as long as we can be in a group class. I don't want it to be just us- up in some crunch bugs house with incense lit'. I don't know what to do with her sometimes. I think the only class that will work with our schedule will be private. Better start burning incense at home now to get her used to it :-)

Belly shot progression... Note for next pregnancy. Use the same or similiar outfit each time.
