Wow. Where did the time go? The summer time here in Brazil makes weekends go by so fast. Another weekend almost identical to the last weekend. Concerts, cookouts, beach walks, and lots of friends leave little time for anything else. I am officially exhausted.
This week marks the last week that I will be participating in pilates. Fridays class started out rough and didn't improve over the hour so it's not worth it to pay for another month. She actually told me to go spit out my gum while she was eating an apple :) I didn't even have gum in my mouth so I said no I don't have any and then she pointed to the bathroom and repeated. When I showed her she kinda laughed a little but seriously?
I will be taking the high road but I don't feel bad about her losing my money. I am just going to tell her that yoga is better for my back right now which isn't a lie. Besides, I ran into my yoga teacher a week ago and she is pregnant too! I didn't think that I could go to yoga while I was pregnant but she told me that she will modify all the poses for me. Awesome. This works out great because I still get to practice my Portuguese because nobody speaks English there either. Plus, it is 1/8 the cost of pilates.
Other than that life is great! I feel great and still have no problems being pregnant. More people are starting to touch my belly or ask if they can. A brazilian friend of ours told me last night she didn't care if I didn't want her to touch my belly because she was going to anyway. That's Brazilian culture. I just started laughing and told her I really didn't care. When in Rome? Besides people started touching my belly at 6 wks so I have already had the adjustment to it being the weird new thing in my life. I honestly do love how much Brazilians love pregnant women, babies, and kids. It rubs off on you and I find myself constantly happy.
I just can't wait until lil Belle starts moving around and I can feel it. They say after 16wks but for sure after 20wks. Our next doc appointment isn't until after Carnival but I will be 20wks and then the week after I have another ultrasound and then I visit home!!
I am so excited to shop for things and start preparing for her arrival. Even though I only have about 5 months left I wish it was here sooner!
Off to pilates. T-3days until I am free. Fake smile. check. happy attitude. check. good to go.
Tchau,
Sara
