So the first class we went to, people probably thought we were weird because I was the only one there that didn't look pregnant...and during the tour of the hospital I was the only one walking around without a spouse because Dave went to go drop off Mark at the airport.
This second class, people thought we were weird cuz we brought a baby...we had JayJay with us and brought him along because my brother wasn't home yet.
Next week, we aren't going to class cuz we'll be in Nashville. Oh well. We're the dysfunctional couple in our class.
Anyways, last night's class was Stages of Labor and Delivery. I am mathematically and measuring illiterate, so 10 cm, when shown in graphic form, threw me off with how HUGE it is!!! Then they talked about how they know whether your cervix is effaced...how normally it feels like your nose cartilage, but eventually it will feel like your lip. Dave had fun feeling both his lip and nose, then wanted to play doctor so I had to slap him.
The grossest part of the class was actually seeing the placenta pop out...that is disgusting...I'm not even going to describe it. And thinking about tearing and/or getting an episiotomy...yuck. At this point, birth does not seem too BEAUTIFUL to me.
I just pray for an easy, quick labor and delivery.....

Imagine, some people actually believe in eating the placenta later. It's supposed to be the most nutrient rich thing you can put in your body. Yum!
Hi Amy & Dave! I'm so sorry for responding so late. I've been so busy. I'm so happy that you guys are expecting. It is so wonderful!!! I'm caught up with your blog and love being along for the journey:)
Lots of love to you guys!!!

Fun!JK. Labor is not fun at all. I was over 24 hours in labor with Aislynn and then they told me I was going to have a C-section. At that point I didn't care what they did all I wanted was for labor to be over...With Troy I wa in labor for 4 hours and then I had the C-section. I will pray for you to have a easy, quick delivery!
