Baby is Due in 7 days!

My body is ready to have this baby, I have been having brackston hicks contractions for over a month but they are more intense now.  I was 2 cm dilated my last Dr. appointment.  I am sure I'm 3 cm now... we are prepared for the baby... we really want him out to enjoy fully now!

Daily Yoga and Stretching (morning & through-out day)

My Yoga and Stretching are an essential part of my everyday. 

I will share my neck focused stretch routine...I do stretch as often as possible through out the day.
(below is the order I prefer to use)

• Starting with leaning my head down first
• Rotate towards a side leading the stretches downwards with my hand at each of the four side points (right and tilted-right; tilted-left and left) with switching hands as I go to another side (right sides, right hand; left sides, left hand)
• Slowly shrug and rotate Shoulders and Neck back and forth
• Cup my neck, tilting my chin up... an gentle pull upwards to stretch
• Stretch, rotate and shake out tension from Wrists
• Stretch, rotate and lengthen Arms
• Massaging my neckline helps complete the process 

Focus points for stretching out my whole body:

1. Neck
2. Abs
3. Arms
4. Chest
5. Back
6. Hips
7. Legs 
8. Ankles

Here is my son a couple years ago, coming down from a (helped by my husband) handstand!

I LOVE Yoga and Stretching Daily... I do alternative yoga moves since I'm 9 months pregnant but it all works great!
