I did it. Something about hearing your stories about getting back in the swing of things lit a yoga fire under my booty, and I actually went to a class tonight. I had my yoga mat propped up by the garage door all day as a visual reminder (and it “Om”-ed at me every time…

Nesting Mode

Nesting mode has kicked into full gear over here. I’ll be 32 weeks this week, so technically there’s about 8 weeks left, but since we have our San Diego trip, Thanksgiving and Christmas sandwiched in there, the more we can do now, the better.
