Hypno-Babies and My Pregnancy Thus Far

Today I am over 28 weeks along, and I have been doing really well.  I  have had a really easy pregnancy with minimal discomforts.  Chris and I started taking our birth class called Hypno-babies, and we are in love with it.
The class teaches you to focus on the positive outcome which you want for whatever you focus on is what will come to being.  This is similar to the theories outlined in the Secret.  This class requires a lot more commitment ( about 30 - 40 minutes every day) than I had anticipated, but the more you put in the more you get out.  With the outcome being a painless childbirth, I am willing to put in A LOT!  

I also think steeping my mind in positivity is good for the baby, and I love the idea of the baby coming into an environment that was concentrating on pure goodness, instead of an environment of terror.

I am still able to run.  Not as far or as fast as I used to, but I'm still out there.  I'm hoping this helps to make for a quick comeback to running after the little one is born.  Running also helps me be in touch with my body, helps me feel more like myself, and is a mood enhancer through out the rest of my day. After I run, I move my body completely differently than I did previous to my run.  Its like a little reminder to my system, that even with this extra weight and different balance points, I am still a graceful and powerful being.  It's very affirming.  I'm grateful to still be able to run.

Chris and I also went kayaking on Saturday.  It was wonderful to be out with wonderful people.  I was not in love with the section of the river that we kayaked, but I'm always in love with moving water.
