Since I'm still not feeling well I thought I'd share another prenatal yoga video I found on Prenatal Yoga Center.
The practice is titled "Alleviating back pain with prenatal yoga" - try it out and tell me what you think.

Being sick is no picnic
My apologies for not posting for three days - I'm sure it ruined your weekend! HAHAHA! My goal when I first started this blog was to post something every day, but I haven't since Thursday! Shameful!
I do have a good excuse though. I've been sidelined by a miserable flu that sucks the life out of you from both ends, if you catch my drift. And on top of being pregnant - it's really been enjoyable. Especially waking up at 3 a.m. early Saturday morning to stomach cramps... very scary. I called my workplace's nursing hotline, and the nurse recommended I call my doctor on-call. Luckily the doctor called back quickly and said it sounded like the flu, which it is.
Still sick today and missed work and my yoga class - I was unable to find a sub myself so I hope the YMCA did. I hate when I can't find a sub, but all the people I know have classes on Monday nights as well. I did drop off a DVD of Baron Baptiste that is very similar in format so hopefully that helped fill the void a bit.
Now my husband is sick with Montezuma's revenge as well. Our dog Charlie is freaking out that no one has walked him in two days! I'm hoping I feel well enough to return to work tomorrow because I'm sick of being on the couch (yes, I am!). Until I feel safe leaving the comforts of my own restroom though, I will have to stay home.

Laughter is good for baby too
Gratitude is key to leading a happy life. Lately I'm so grateful for all the generosity exhibited towards me during my pregnancy - people love to give baby gifts! The other day Maureen, a coworker and friend, stopped by out of the blue and gave me the book 97 Ways to Make a Baby Laugh by Jack Moore.It's such an adorable book with cute baby photos on every page and 97 ideas on how to play with your baby. As I blogged about the other day, laughter is good medicine, not only for mama but for baby too.
Below are some "laughing" ideas for your baby from the book:
- Ride on a carousel with your baby and have familiar people stand around it waving to the baby.
- At dinner, have the adults play with glasses of water and spoons to play music for the baby.
- Play 'this little piggy' - an oldie but a goodie.
- Sit the baby in front of a mirror with you as you both wear hats, and then switch hats back and forth.
- Make an exaggerated sneeze for the baby.
- Fill a laudry bag with the baby's toys and take each one out with great fanfare.
