Visits at the midwife, feelings and such. | 29 octobre 2008

So Today was the first preparation class for the Birth (apparently something I am ready to think about now) That amongst others things, like breastfeeding and child-care when going back to work. It might seem a bit early but in a big city like Paris you rather be more organised that not - or you'll end up being forced to act like a Kengaroo when its back-to-work day. that is make a pouch on your stomach and keep a 4 month old baby there hidden, latched on a nipple. Not the ideal first day back but hey... There is still some way to go to avoid that. (and I am lucky to still have my vacation left at work so I get a bit more than the 8 weeks planned by the french state in maternity leave)

Pan has been a real trooper - smiling when the mother-to-be has been crying over leaking water in the bathroom, listening when I complain over specific spices in exotic food or just waiting for my episodes to pass when I get annoyed over laundry or other mondain things, which can be often, too often. Not easy for him. And sometimes I don't even think it can be blamed on the hormones. Lets hope the relaxation technique I learned today with 6 other very prengnant women can help to ease my tention so I can smile back. Smile back and laugh at his silly jokes (like the ones the little students love, but then again they are only 7 years old) and also remember to give back some love and affection in the form of a wonderful, warm chocolate cake. Because thats the only way I know how.
