You seem like you are doing well in your belly world. The midwives say that I have great amniotic fluid, so that's good news for us both. If you have felt a lot of squeezes lately, it's because I can't seem to kick a cold and the coughs keep coming. That doesn't seem to stop you from continuing to make room for yourself in my tummy.
I can feel your strength and vitality already - making your name all the more appropriate.
We had our yoga birthing class last weekend and it was phenomenal. It was wonderful for your dad and I to actually have time to focus on each other and your upcoming birth. We did a labor simulation where we (the mamas to be) got into difficult yoga poses to simulate contractions. It was really valuable to see how I wanted to be touched and spoken to while experiencing something intense. I think it was helpful for your dad to learn that he doesn't need to do much for me while I birth you besides just be there. To speak sweet and encouraging words, rub my back, and be present.
xoxo
