Our midwife told us at our last check-up that we are in the zone of 'optimal timing for birth'...sooooo...sounds like a good time to start various labor encouraging tricks that, if nothing else, also serve to pamper the body and soul :) What a great excuse for massages, good food, wine, and belly dancing classes!
Shayna started out on Friday (after our last pre-birth task was checked off the list---a thorough house cleaning!) with a labor-encouraging (literally geared toward that!) massage....this pic below was taken minutes after she left the massage room....life is good.
We left the spa and went out for dinner at an amazing restaurant near our place (comfort food!--another trick)...and Shayna enjoyed a glass of bubbly (full body relaxation!). The result was more contractions (Braxton Hicks---don't get too excited!) than she has ever had....and a good night sleep with no infant entering the scene :)
Stay tuned for videos and pics of our belly dancing adventure the following day....
