Relaxation?! Who Needs It?
Baby Linnaea is often active when Ivy is. She kicks or punches, or does somersaults, or whatever it is she's doing, while Ivy is walking, and oftentimes when Ivy stoops or stands.
A couple of weeks ago we took a weekend childbirthing class, where we learned lots of techniques for relaxing and influencing the baby's position during labor.
Ivy learned that a good position for her is squatting on the ground while I sit in a chair and support her. My hands rested on her belly as Ivy let herself sag. She seemed quite relaxed.
Not so Linnaea. I could feel her dissatisfaction. Bam! Bam! Bam!
Ivy giggled a little even as she tried to relax.
Bam!
More giggling.
Eventually both mother and daughter settled down and relaxed together.
