First Childbirth Class = Success!

Today, David and I had our very first baby class (in a snowy blizzard I might add). There were around 10-11 couples in our class. We had a very good time. I was so thrilled to spend 3 hours with David without football on the TV or dogs hogging all the attention. It was a nice little break. And of course, free massages with an old lady telling him he had too was definetly a plus. It feels nice to have your husband learning about how to make you feel better. All the soon-to-be dads were very attentive...almost like a child on the first day of kindergarten. They seemed eager to learn about our bodies and how we are going to bring their child into the world.

At one point, we were to lay on our yoga mats with our pillows supporting our head and one knee. She turned out the lights and had us do breathing techniques. Wow, it felt so good. I just hope childbirth is THAT easy....hahaha. I must admit, I am a little terrified about the next couple of weeks, but I know my body is meant to do this. No pain...no gain. Literally.

I can't wait for our next class and our tour of the birthing center. We will be there in only 7.5 weeks, or less.
