It’s so cold I am freezing my hiney off. Seriously, I had to dance like I was at a disco to keep warm in the car this morning as the engine reluctantly warmed up. The pipes froze in our kitchen again. Winter here sucks.
I canceled my prenatal appointment today with a nurse at the Burlington office of Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates. I don’t want to keep seeing them if I don’t plan on working with them. I got an appointment tomorrow with a CNM at the Cambridge Birth Center – she is actually the director of the center. At lunch today I have to go get my records from HVMA so I can have uninterrupted care tomorrow. I like the idea of working with a midwife and giving birth at a birth center. I want my peeps to be able to hang out – I expect prolly K, R, A, and K’s mom will be around keeping me company, doing massage, baking pie, et cetera while I labor. I am thinking that in a couple months I will take a hypnobirthing class. K and I spent 10 minutes meditating last night. It was very calming. I forget how easy it can be to do sometimes. We’re going to try to meditate together for 10-20 minutes every night. I also watched through my new “Buff Moms-to-be” DVD. All the moves look doable except this one bit with tricky footwork, but I’m sure I’ll pick it up. The problem now is going to be finding the space to do the work. I also need tennis shoes, a beach towel, and 2-lb. hand weights, but those should be easy to get.
Still nauseous. Yesterday was one of the worst days so far. I thought I was going to barf on the way home in the car. My appetite is back, but my food aversions are still here, so I am having trouble figuring out to eat. Fortunately, K and I are going out to dinner tonight for our 4 year anniversary. That’s right. Can you believe it’s been that long?
