I leave off the whipped cream to make me feel better about myself ;)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125198283150634572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2799342158146065158.post-35647422848535346072013-07-22T06:29:47.880-07:002013-07-22T06:29:47.880-07:00Another amazing pic!

It makes your baby feel very imminent to me! That is so cute that you showed Joseph a diagram of your squished bladder... it's amazing how much the older sib can comprehend. Sophia still occasionally brings up sperm, which was her favorite part of a baby video we watched over and over! Haha. We really need to chat... labor and delivery are 2 of my favorite topics. Here is a little unsolicted advice: With Kaia I kept fighting my contractions (tensing up and muscling through them), until I ASKED my labor nurse (who was mostly pretty good) if I should be tensing or relaxing and she said relaxing. Well, as soon as I started focusing on relaxing my muscles and breathing deeply through my contractions everything progressed better AND I felt better and much more "zoned out." It all clicked! A funny thing is that I really knew I should be relaxing, but I felt like that made my labor look too easy and it would encourage the nurses to start sticking pitocin-IVs in me. OMG. :)JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00900842731878865757noreply@blogger.com
