Yesterday Amy had her first Yoga session. The intent is to learn relaxation and breathing techniques in preparation for the birth. The idea is that by focussing on the breathing, attention is diverted away from the contraction pain. The place was a bit of a nightmare to find and in a less than salubrious(to my mind anyway) part of Deptford.
The last couple of days have been quite busy. I took Wednesday off for a day of DIY and flat-cleaning. I painted the bannisters which took a mammoth four hours! The gutting thing is that they still need another coat. I whiled away those hours listening to Balam’s One Hit Wonder compilation. If you are interested the list can be found here
Yesterday the midwife came for her(stand by yer beds!!) inspection of our flat. I’m glad to day that we passed with flying colour. Yoo hoo!! She was pleased with the flat and said that we had everything we needed. Her only qualm was the three flights of stairs up to the flat. I think the pram will need to be left down in the hallway unless Ames wants arms and legs like Arnie 🙂
Walking into work today I was feeling particularly content and calm. This is probably because the sun has finally made an appearance and the sky is blue for a change. There is nothing like the feeling of the sun on your face on a cold frosty morning.
