So the other preggars seemed to have had their belly's pop recently. I'm still early, having just started my 14 weeks this past Weds (3.5 months along, officially starting my 2ND trimester) but am anxious to see when it will happen! I get sort of a immediate preview having 2 good friends that are pregnant only a week/3 weeks ahead of me so the anticipation for things are much more 'real time', if that makes sense.
This week I started acquiring maternity work clothes-- mostly for comfort purposes, from the GAP. I got my first pair of maternity jeans awhile ago (Pea in a Pod), maybe I didn't need them yet but they sure are comfortable! I love maternity pants, I don't know if I will ever go back! Its a genius idea putting elastic waist bands on everything, just genius!
On a related note, to balance some of this need for bigger and stretchier clothing--this past Saturday, Yena and I had our 1st pre-natal Yoga Class. We have this class for 7 weeks, every Saturday.
Whoa, am I out of shape! I was so sore the next few days from squats, I could barely walk. I really like the class and am glad it will focus on strength area's that we will need to support the baby (back, thighs, pelvic area, etc). It's definitely a softer, easier, version of regular yoga but I'm still hoping I don't have a hard time keeping up! We were among the earliest in the class, there are women who are much further along so I will be quite shamed if I cannot do some of the moves. No more putzing around-- time to get back on the active train!
