Random Monday

- On the way to the post office this morning, was following a dualie pickup truck..you know the kind, all flashy, the "bad boy" logo on the back window, never been off road, etc.  Hanging from the back bumper were a pair of, well, rubber balls.  And I mean balls as in testes.  NICE

Those rubber balls are popular with the guys on my hockey team. Ugh.

I was describing them to friends last night and they said that its more common to have them hanging from a trailer hitch so that it really looks like twigs & berries.

Maybe I'll get a big ol' pair of boobs and attach to the headlights of my car

How far along were you when you started prenatal yoga? I want to start a class fairly soon, but I'm nowhere near showing, and I'm wondering if that will be weird. What do you think? How was it with your class?

I started about 1/2 way through 1st trimester and wasn't showing yet -- everyone else was much further along. I felt a little goofy at first, but got over that fairly early.

In the past 3 weeks, there was a new girl who was newly pregnant (due in late June I think?), so I think its all over the place. I would say most people start in their 3rd tri b/c their doctor suggested it. I don't think many in my class had taken a lot of yoga beforehand.

I really benefited early on from learning the 'safe' way to do things early on, like how to modify twists, etc that might be taught in a class I take at work sometimes.

If anything, its a good way to start exercizing those muscles that you'll need for labor, and start practicing a couple of different breathing techiniques that can help w/ labor!
