my third eye thinks this yoga tape is crazy

Ahhh my first day off work, I tell myself I can sleep in an hour longer then I am going to walk to the park by our house. That's my goal for the summer wake up early enough I can walk to the park before it gets to be 100 degrees outside.
Woohoo I slept till 8am and go out to the kitchen to eat breakfast and what's that? it's raining?! ooook there goes my walk, maybe I can just wait it out...nope still raining.
Fine then, I will try my prenatal yoga dvd. Yoga is supposed to be peaceful and calming, breathing and stretching, ooooommmmm. Not when you have two crazy dogs wrestling for your attention the minute you hit the mat on the floor.
Step 1: kick dogs out of bedroom.
Step 2: resume tape. listen to Mrs. Guru lady tell you that you are 'taking your baby on a ride in it's carriage, your uterus'...am I supposed to do this with a straight face?
Step 3: kick cat off mat and wait until she settles on not attacking you from the bed.
Step 4: resume tape. Mrs. Guru lady says to imagine you are in the forest delivering your baby... Is that supposed to be a calming image? I don't want to be in a forest delivering a baby! where is the nice clean room and doctors with pain medication? who catches the thing? where are my helpful Disney creatures singing me songs in the forest? that sounds a bit more relaxing...
Step 5: fast forward tape to next visual, the forest isn't working for me.
Step 6: Mrs. Guru lady says to raise your arms over your head and then bring them back down to your side, looks like you're flapping your wings, ok I can do that one. Then comes the visual, 'this is to help you build your electromagnetic field'. (Wikipedia defines this as "The electromagnetic field is a physical field produced by electrically charged objects. It affects the behavior of charged objects in the vicinity of the field.") Do I want an electromagnetic field? Does this mean I can become an X-men? watch out Priya (lounging on the bed watching me flap my arms like a bird) I might shock you with my electromagnetic field.
Step 7: Shake off the electromagnetic field. Turn off crazy lady tape. Let dogs back into bedroom. Retreat to Target to buy the first more costly Prenatal Yoga tape I saw that looks like it was made in the 21st century and perhaps doesn't have a Guru who wants my third eye to imagine birthing in forests, calls my uterus a carriage and tries to give me electromagnetic fields.


On another note, the doctors appointment is tomorrow. I had a dream about having to pee in a cup in front of everyone haha. Dom is going with me. I believe they take my blood for some tests as well, I tell Dom this and he is now psyching himself up. This is his first test to see if he will make it during the delivery without passing out. It should be interesting! So another fun poll, which I am sure Dominic will appreciate ;)

  3. i think you should give the birthing video another try. anything that can make you an x-men is worth a second chance!

  4. Dom you are losing the fainting poll now, sorry! Looks like you will have to prove yourself, but you have a few months to work on it!

    Do tell my Karen about the disney creatures in the forest in case she wants to join me in my foresty frolick while giving birth haha ohhh nature ;)


    I think dom might be jealous if I start having x-men like powers, he will try to steal my electromagnetic yoga power moves so he can perfect his wolverine claws ;)


    (I have been trying to figure out how to comment back and finally I did it, ha technology take that!)

  5. I think dom watches enough crazy stuff on 24 that he can handle the delivery room.
