Well, the yoga studio I go to has a fairly mellow attitude... you can sign up in advance, or you can drop in. They are small, with one studio, and focus primarily on pre- and post-natal and baby yoga. They have yoga for non-pregnant women and mommies, though, too. my sister bought me 3 months of yoga for my birthday, and so I purchased the sessions ahead-of-time - I bought 12 sessions and I've been to 4. Hopefully I can get back at it next week which is looking way less busy.

I am, however, very much looking forward to this conference I'll be at this week. Hoping to get to hang out with many of my former colleagues who will hopefully be there. It's in town, too, which is a lovely serendipity - usually you have to travel halfway across the country to make the conferences because they move from school to school. My son's actually looking forward to his 3 full days at preschool and the fact that he gets to bring a pillow and stuffed animal for naptime.

The massage was freakin' delicious. I can't describe it any other way. The therapists were all trained therapists who were just getting hours for relicensure or learning prenatal shiatsu. I got a very cool therapist who was very responsive and attentive and once she found out I had a female partner she asked some fun questions like "so did you and your partner have to decide which one of you would carry the baby?" - they were the kind of questions I like, out of genuine, open curiosity. And her hands were SO WARM. mmmmmmmmm. I might actually call the school and see if I can get an appointment for another one since they charge only $35 an hour. It helped my back out, too. So I heartily recommend to all of you to see if there are any massage schools in your area and whether they're doing prenatal classes and need volunteer models for the students to practice on!!

2hm yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!

You are so cute! Your user name totally fits. Your wife has a very beautiful and kind looking face.

Jen I'm so jealous of the massage and the impending adult conversation I can't even talk to you.

I put up a belly pic on the belly pic thread, but I'm clothed and headless, not very interesting, I just put it up for future comparison.

Most of you probably gleaned this from the queer & pregnant thread already, but we had our US today:

My son's a bit disappointed, as he wanted a baby sister; I'm a touch disappointed, both for him and because I was convinced it was a girl, too! But I'm still happy about the good scan we had today!

I'm sorry Jen, I didn't acknowledge your disappointment in the queer & preg thread...I think partially because I'm terrified of my own disappointment if the US discovers a boy for me. I'm sure I'll be thrilled to have a happy healthy baby but I do have a girl preference and after a really intense dream where I reacted almost violently upon learning it was a boy, I'm a bit scared.

Anyway - there I go making this about me, when all I wanted to do was give you a hug and lend you an ear. :
