Yoga

I have been attempting to do a few yoga poses/stretches in an attempt to deal to my painful hips. This is almost impossible to do around children - as soon as I rolled out my mat yesterday, there were four of us sitting on it! The children copied my every move, which was a bit funny, especially if I did anything with my arms above my head - Orla's (and to some extent Aidan's) limbs are just a bit too short to do much in that direction! But they were surprisingly attentive and persistant with their efforts. When I tried to do anything lying down, Orla took that as an invitation to assume the feeding position. She was also intent on stealing any cushions I placed under various body parts for support and sat on them with her nudey butt (note to self - do not use lounge cushions as pillows).

Baby has now moved head down, so that has made things a bit more comfortable. I feel that I am getting very large (still measuring slightly big for dates).

So, the only real cure for the sore hips will be giving birth, which is still some time away. In the meantime, I will satisfy myself with taking "yoga for children" during the day.
