Mommy and Me

I had a great weekend. It started off with a great Mommy and Me Yoga class last Friday. I am usually skeptical about these classes because I really didn't enjoy my Pre-Natal Yoga class. But this class was great! My mommy friends Birdie and LisaM came with their two 7 month olds. I actually had a great workout and it inspired me to develop a Mommy & Me Pilates class. I am now in a different community, the Mommy community. Which is awesome and I am loving meeting new moms. It's such a new network of friends. Funny how conversations change. Last year at this time I was talking about what jeans to buy and now I am talking about how Nainoa had an explosive poop because he didn't poop for 2 days!

Check out this cute post about the boys from Wild About Baby

Eye and I spent the rest of the weekend nesting. I wanted to put some shelves up for Nainoa in our bedroom. It turned out pretty cute. When its all said and done, I'll post some pictures. Today I am teaching at a new Pilates place. It's the first time I'll be away from Nainoa for 6 hours! I can't imagine what it will be like when I go back to work full time. To all those full-time working moms...hats of to you!!!

Super Mom

Yesterday I taught my second  private Pilates session post cesarean.   I instructed wearing my P-sling while Nainoa was fast asleep.  He almost made it all the way through the hour.  About 40 minutes into the private, he peed right through his P-sling.  I changed him, then breast fed him AND taught at the same time!   I ROCK!  It felt sooooo good to know that I can teach while being a babywearing, breastfeeding momma!   Yea for me!  Thank you J for being such an understanding student.  

39 Weeks

I'm 39 weeks today!  Eye took this picture while I was doing Pilates on my new equipment.   I always feel really strong after I exercise.  I haven't been walking as much because it is just to0 hot now and I have to pee every 5 feet so I can't walk my mile anymore.  But we have been swimming everyday which I LOOOVE.   I feel so weightless.  I hate getting out of the pool because I feel soooo heavy.    I've been trying not to obsess about my due date next Monday. He'll come when he is ready.   I'm keeping busy teaching, reading, napping and spending time with my husband.   Being patient is hard for me but I have learned through out this whole process that there are things I cannot control.  So with that being said time to go swimming!!!

Accomplished!!!

    

Since October I have been traveling to Pasadena once a month to take classes to get my Pilates Teaching Certification.   It's been an amazing  journey for me.  Not only have I gained knowledge about Pilates, I have also learned so much about myself and my body.   When I started my course I was 8 weeks pregnant and I was scared I wasn't going to finish.  I was afraid that my changing body would inhibit me to learn or demonstrate the exercises when the time came.  Joy and Trish, my amazing instructors here in Vegas, told me that I could definitely finish the course. Today I took my final and passed my practical exam!!!!  (I am still waiting to for my written scores)   It felt so good to finish this course now that I am almost 7 months pregnant.   I am really proud of myself.  I have to thank my amazing Pasadena instructor, for always supporting me and never letting my pregnancy get in the way of learning.  Thank you to my beautiful fellow students in the class, it was such a pleasure to spend these past months with you.  I must say a especial thank you to "Claire's mom."  Thank you for being so open.  I am truly honored and humbled by your openness.     My name is Coralissa and I feel accomplished!!!
