House and Home

Peter has recently been working a lot in Moss Landing, which is hard for us to be away from him. We miss him cuddling with us at night. Besides that, the house paperwork is slowly getting done. It is difficult to buy a bank-owned home because they are overloaded and thus on a different time frame with getting back to us on things. Physical contingency has been removed. Inspections look good. 

I am really enjoying the Midwives at the birth center much better than my previous OB/GYN. The midwives spend about an hour a visit with me and really seem to care where previously I was treated much more like a patient and I felt very rushed. The midwives are much more lie a family member caring for you. 

Next month we start the childbirth classes but I have read so many books that I'm not sure if it'll be new information! Other than that, I have been going to prenatal yoga and have an amazing teacher. The class feels like you never want to leave. I want to have my baby in yoga, it feels so calm in there!! I am also now drinking this herbal pregnancy tea that is supposed to help with everything from calf muscle cramps, to heartburn, to stomach upset. 

My thesis is coming along at a snail pace but I am motivated to get it done before the baby. Work is coming to an end and though I care deeply about what I do, I will be happy to have the next few months to devote all of my energy to myself.
