This photo was taken Feburary 12th. One month ago! At week 26.
So much has happened in the past month... both Cristina and I have felt overwhelmed with trying to write a blog post.
We went to Mexico for a very quick babymoon. We are so happy we did. I used my amex points and we stayed in cancun for 5 days. This winter has been BRUTAL. We had one snow storm after another and record low temps. Quite miserable. I'm going to leave it up to Cristina to fill in about the trip and our big news. (She has the photos from Mexico. She is our family photographer.)
We started hypnobirthing classes in February. If you don't know hypnobirthing ... It's a pretty calm and soothing meditation style of breathing and visualization. It's practiced by loads of women hoping to have a natural childbirth and seems to be very helpful with anxiety around giving birth. Our classes are taught by a woman named Amethyst (not making that up).
I get to be the birth coach for our son. What? Me? Yeah me! Ideally Cristina and Zellbot (our nickname for the unnamed boychick) and I will work together to get him to come on down and meet the world. I know lots of people out there use doula's for this job... But I'm totally up for it! Of course we will have a obgyn and it will take place in a hospital.
Anyway we have a lot of practicing to do....
And getting nursery ready... And the demands of work... And our new house with frozen pipe issues....and well all of the other life stuff. I don't know how single parents do it at all and we don't even have a baby yet! We are so lucky to have each other.
Look at her at 30 weeks. Isn't she gorgeous?!?
