I hope this entry doesn’t come off sounding like bragging but damn, I am good. This morning, I finally fulfilled my self-promise from a week ago to walk the dogs in the morning. I had three main reasons for doing this: 1.) the poor pups won’t overheat in the wee morning hours 2.) I need all the exercise I can get (will not be a fat mom will not be a fat mom) and 3.) since I go to work at 8 now, I have way too much extra morning time during which I can never seem to actually sleep. So yes, we took a nice little jaunt around the ‘hood and they didn’t strain or drag me too much. The power of the food compelled them I think; I waited until after the walk to feed.

The other reason I’m so damn good is that we started childbirth classes last night. As expected, Ash and I are way ahead of the rest of those folks in terms of preparedness and general knowledge. Now I know not everyone gives a flying crap about reading and maybe it’s best to just let pregnancy happen. But I have felt a lot better about everything having read and educated myself on at least some little things like random nosebleeds or why my feet hurt and how an eight pound baby actually can come out of that teeny tiny area down there OMG.  I also rocked the squats we did, since we do full out squats in yoga every week and the woman last night only had us in half squats with husband’s support. Ash was quite impressed with my skills. Yeah, you heard me: mad skillz.

So today, I have conferences again but thankfully, no class. We do, however, have our one night two hour breastfeeding class at 6:30. I won’t excel in this area; I know pretty much nothing about it other than what I have read. I think it’s more of a hands-on thing too.

Happy Tuesday!
