Active, conscious, engaged. Yesterday Charlie and I attended a five hour
workshop on preparing for active birth. The time flew, it was fascinating, inspiring and relaxing all at once. The workshop included techniques from the Thursday yoga classes that I've been trying to get to, and also included very useful discussion about how to make the most of your choice regarding hospital. We emerged feeling informed and empowered. Practice of breathing, touch and positioning. It certainly made it real that I'm in the last stages now. I need to incorporate some poses at home that will allow this little one to position favourably, as they say.
Much going on at home, Charlie paved the storage side of the shed.
Dad n Jack brought around the rain water tank that will nestle behind it. Had Pat around to photograph our
fabulous bed for his portfolio.
Today my replacement starts, and I removed the personal pictures that hang by my desk. I've been bringing home a pair of shoes per day from the office collection.
