It Counts

Consider this my week 2 and 3 update for my Natural Childbirth Training. These two weeks I've given myself an A- grade for training, but I'm really proud of what I've accomplished.

While some of the days I completed training in a not-so-strictly-defined way, I sure did get a workout!

I've been able to keep up with tailor sitting and squatting pretty well each day. I put my laundry away by laying it on the floor and squatting to pick it up before hanging it. I tailor sit for at least an hour if not more during my work day.

Kegels and Pelvic rocks could use some work. I'm thinking of starting to incorporate those in my morning routine, before leaving to head downstairs for breakfast. That may be the only way I get them done.

The last 4 days have been full of heavy duty working! I'm not sure if it's nesting because of the pregnancy or simply delayed Spring cleaning, but I've got a bug! Saturday I spent the day cleaning out and organizing the basement. Sunday I finished the basement and helped Kevin begin prepping and painting the nursery. I painted an ENORMOUS wooden bookcase which took every last bit of weekend energy I had.

On Monday I created a mock nursery in my office so that I could let the new rug breathe and get cleaned, set up furniture and assemble other decorative pieces. I did some more nursery painting and then slept ..... like a baby!!

Yesterday my mother-in-law joined me in cleaning out and organizing the garage and then I spent the evening painting and getting the guest bedroom ready for family visitors. So far, today is full of press releases, copy writing and a load of laundry here and there.

I'm hoping to find some time for water fitness tonight but we'll see how the nursery projects progress!
