in the early months of pregnancy i often wondered if i would still be able to reach the potters wheel, if i would be rolling around the yoga mat instead of downward facing dog… well tonight at yoga i could really feel my belly, or should i say my son, nudging my stances even wider still. then in a cross-legged forward bend i felt him kick as to say - hey lady, what are you doing?! ‘how cute’ i thought as I smiled to myself.

today in front of the potters wheel i was quite happy with the pieces i turned. this belly’s not in the way yet! but i remember what my dad told me on the phone the other night, “you’re going to get huge the last month! like a watermelon!” i loved his emphasis, ‘thanks dad’ i thought! but i’m sure he’s right, hard to avoid the inevitable!

i have 2 more months to see where this takes me in my work & in my yoga. thank goodness for gentle classes!
