On this day of your life, Donna, I believe God wants you to know...
...that your contribution to this very day could set the stage for an entirely different kind of year.

Today we had Camera Club down at the Neighbourhood House, it's just in its infancy so a little slow going at the moment. Mum and I are both waiting for the others to get motivated to do some field trips to take photos, like the Camera Club back home. Still, they'll get there, I hope. Declan was a little grizzly for it but went to sleep after a feed. Then we came home for lunch, then off to a program called BoBs and Bibs (an exercise program for pregnant women and mothers with babies up to 9 months old).
The program is run by the local Community Health Centre, and is in its infancy as well (only been running for 2 weeks). As such there was only myself and one other mother there. We had fun though. It's quite a good program, lots of strength based training, I think it will be really good to participate in. The best part is you can take your baby and they join in (you can use them as weights LOL)... for instance you just hold them when you're doing lunges, squats etc. and this adds to the intensity of the workout. Then for some of the upper body work they lie under or on you (depending on what you're doing) for the push-ups, sit-ups, etc.
Declan got grizzly about half way through so I had to breastfeed him, and I felt totally ok with doing that in the middle of the session. I even did the cool-down stretches with him attached and feeding at a boob - it was hilarious. But I figure, well, this is a new program and we're the pioneers (or guinea pigs) so I might as well set an example now on how I expect the program to be flexible around my baby and our needs. I'm hoping some of the women from my mother's group who were interested start to turn up, it'll be a great program once it gets some numbers and is a worthwhile program to support.
