Breakdancing Pregnant Ladies

These pregnant ladies can move! Okay, the breakdancers aren't pregnant. This was a staged event to raise consciousness about health care for women in developing countries. Everyday 1400 women die in pregnancy and childbirth around the world due to lack of health care. Found this gem at Mothering Magazine.

Florida

For my 30th Birthday and our "Babymoon", we went to Florida for 5 days. It's was warm and amazing which is just what we needed. Just feeling the soft sun on my skin was reason enough to go.

The Everglades.

Audubon House in Key West.

Real Astronaut John Fabian at NASA. He gave a talk and spoke about his experience in Space and our fragile planet.

Baby Harpo and I board a rocket into space at the Kennedy Space Center.

Growing Belly

Here's my belly at around 27 weeks. Looks like I'm growing everywhere. :) My baby Harpo is moving more and more everyday. He's kind of a feisty fellow. We play a game where I gently tap my belly and he kicks back.

We went to see Cheryl Gates the midwife and everything is progressing perfectly. My body naturally knows what to do just like the sky knows how to make rain and yellow forsythia flowers know how to trumpet spring. We will now see Cheryl every two weeks to check our progress.

I saw Hypnotherapist Dr. Plumb today to help me trust my body in birth. He has been very helpful in guiding me to relax and allow my body do what it was made to do.
