Down Dog at Cosmic Dog

I can't believe just how fast time has been going by! Didn't all of this just happen yesterday? And already I'm only a month and a half away from my last day at work and from starting my maternity leave! And now with so little time left; I finally am starting to get my work schedule changed from horribly late night hours to more reasonable day hours. Thanks! Better now then never I suppose. It sure has been a drag working until 2am!



I'm exactly 29 weeks pregnant (sorry; 6mts. and about 10 days) and little princess weighs as much as one of these puppies:

Last Tuesday "we" took our first yoga class together at the "Cosmic Dog Yoga Studio" up in Livermore. I think this will be a good addition to my pretty much non-existing exercise regime. I met a couple of nice ladies; both of which are pregnant of course; and it feels nice to start to get a foot in the door of new social circles in our hopefully soon to be new neighborhood. Speaking of networking/socializing: at Wednesday night's class Inyo was able to hand out a stack of his new business cards to Tracy (the teacher) who had inquired about them saying she would hand them out to her girlfriends in town. The previously cranky, rude couple seemed to have gotten some sleep and was in a much better mood this week! Things are starting to move into a more positive direction.

I've been studying up on all the supposed essential baby gear I'm expected to have BEFORE January. I thought picking out the right crib was a challenge; until I started to realize the absolute insane assortment of diapers there are!!! Speaking of diapers: according to "Baby Bargains" I'm supposed to stock up on 600 (yup, that's two zeros!) of those suckers just to get us through the first month 1/2 or so! Since that seems a bit retarded I'll take my chances and just get one box for now. Oh the pressure of choosing the "right" gear and gadgets; it's never ending!

I'm also realizing that I missed my window of starting to take weekly belly pictures of myself; instead of monthly. I've realized a bit far into this journey that it would have been fun to take one each week wearing the same exact outfit so I can really tell my progress.

I'll try to start now; I guess...cuz man! I'm growing as I'm typing...
