Back in Los angeles



We just got back from Montreal and are getting into "slow prep mode".
Since we decided to move to Montreal we will be purging our apartment little by little, chipping at it everyday until we have the bare essentials to move with.
There is no precise plan other than the fact that I can't travel past my 7th month and really wouldn't want to pack and unpack when I'm too big, so we'll be going probably as soon as Mike gets a job offer and no later than mid-May.

So far we have chosen to take every aspect of this pregnancy very "naturally", meaning a natural birth, no epidural, help with hypnotherapy (hypnobirthing seems to be very powerful!) in a birth center if we can and if everything goes well. We saw an osteopath in Montreal who already has helped me tremendously, between headaches and my frequent trips to the bathroom. The hypnotherapist himself has been probably the best thing that could have been as he completely took away any fear I had and I now feel very calm, peaceful, and ready.
We also chose not to see an obstetrician, when we have a confirmation from the birth center, the mid-wives there will take us in and do all the necessary exams such as the ultrasounds that we might need, though as we mentioned in earlier posts, we don't want to have more than two and will have the first one around week 20 (that's how they do it in Canada anyway so it suits us!).
These are our plans so far, things can always change, but as I feel very well we believe everything is good with the baby, and everything will stay this way! These are also our affirmations so it can actually go that way instead of having our stress affect the outcome!
We picture our baby coming out like a Bodhisattva in meditation position! ;-)

These are the news....
