Sorry for the constant random posts with no real direction! I guess it is better than not posting at all!
- I’m thinking about changing doctors. My doctor is nice and all but I really just went with her because she was located 5 mins from my office and she was a woman. Now that I actually know what kind of birth I want, I’m not sure she will help me with that. She says the right things about being supportive of natural childbirth, but who knows what will happen when it is really going down? I mean, she already said she would never personally have a baby without an epidural, so we are already on different pages. I don’t think I should set myself up for a fight on the big day if I don’t have to.
- Lost ends for the season tomorrow. Grr! It is hands down my favorite show on TV. I don’t always understand what is going on, mind you, but I really enjoy the ride!
- Yeah, I need that back brace. I traded my Friday run for an outdoor walk and my back still hurt later on. Until I feel like ponying up the cash, I’ll have to stick with the elliptical or something else.
- I sold my pole today. I will miss pole dancing so much but I don’t know when I’m going to get back classes. My efforts to reclaim my figure post-baby will surely require more intensity!
- I tried a bit of Seasun Zieger’s new step workout. I am loving it so far..and step doesn’t hurt my back!
- I had a mini-breakdown in a Target dressing room last Friday. I had nothing to wear to a party, nothing I tried on looked good and I was resentful about spending money on clothes that I hate in the first place. My butt is huge right now and maternity clothes suck. Why do I have to suddenly wear flowers and ruffles just because I’m pregnant? That stuff just makes you look bigger!
- I am a pretty simple styled kind of girl anyway. I like plain/classic kind stuff that looks nice on my figure. What do you do when you don’t have a figure anymore? Or one that doesn’t look right in anything?
- I am going to a party this Friday as well, but I am prepared and already have a dress that looks fine. I might actually post my first preggo picture LOL.
- If I do post, be forewarned that my hair isn’t going to be just right. I have my 6-week relaxer apt the next day. The day before a relaxer isn’t the time to be doing too much to your hair…unless you want to experience FIRE during the process.
- My childbirth classes end in a few weeks. I am planning to buy the Hypnobabies home study course and try that next. We’ve learned a ton of coping techniques in class and I’ve dealt with a lot of my fears about the process. The coping techniques that I most gravitate to would make me successful with Hypnobabies (I think).
My sister bought most of her maternity clothes at Ross….inexpensive and some semi-stylish pieces. Good Luck!! Do post some preggo pictures! I can’t picture you pregnant!
I did find a few shirts there and I’ve lucked out at Burlington Coat Factory as well. The stuff still isn’t cute though! Cute stuff costs a whole lot. I’m not paying $85 for a shirt that may or may not fit in a month. Sigh.
Dang…sold the pole? It’s the end of an era!
Yes, its gone! I can always buy another one later though. Although, I don’t want my kid making erroneous conclusions about the use. I’ve seen that kiddie picture circulating on the internet – the one where the kids draws mommy on the pole LOL.
I don’t know what to make of your dr’s comment. It is concerning. Perhaps you could also ask her what % of her patients deliver w/o epidural and what % of her patients deliver vaginally vs c-section.
Yeah I plan to. She just said that she personally would not do it that way (not sure if she has kids or not). Which indicates to me that she might not understand my mindset when it comes to the matter.
