and thick* and fast they came at last
Tuesday, February 13, 2007
February is proving to be the fertilest month, with the recent arrivals of Fletcher Joseph, Esme Elisabeth Harriet and Genevieve Margaret: shout-outs to Nik and Andy, Juliet, Jake and Ishbel, and Michael, Hayley and Livia, respectively. (Respect!) Was privileged to be able to go and inspect the very new Genevieve Margaret yesterday (cunningly combining my visit with a mission of sushi and a quick reccy of Ward 12, viz. the maternity ward at Wellington Women's). She's gorgeous, and seems to have given her mum far less trouble while emerging than her elder sibling: parents were looking relaxed, radiant, relieved (Dad: 'It was SOOO much better than last time!'), restoking my tenderest hopes of a VBAC** of my very own.
First pregnancy yoga class last night: most noteable achievement managing not to puke on my yoga mat – probably because the instructor very sensibly avoided any forward bend poses, and in fact anything remotely strenuous, so there was just a lot of sitting around on our haunches, eyes closed, like a circle of little fat Buddhas. Actually it was lovely: emerged feeling very calm and fecund.
*Lest anyone take offense, not thick as in Jade Goody, just numerous.
**Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (or should that be 'hoo-haa-al'? In which case, HBAC, I guess).
