birthing class

So, last night was the 1st night of child birthing classes. We signed up for the shorter version, which is 3 Monday nights from 7-9:30. That didn't sound bad until yesterday when we were both dog tired and didn't feel like going. We did make it, late and all. Soo embarrassing. We had to sit on the front row since we were late, but oh well. I had to laugh to myself while sitting there. I never pictured myself, let alone Dan, sitting in this type of class listening to the things this lady was saying about our bodies. I think he actually enjoyed it. I know he'll never admit it though. It's good for the guys to hear though what we're going through from someone else. I just couldn't help but laugh to myself watching him sitting there listening. :) At the end of the class, we got to watch a movie! A child birthing movie! One where they deliver the placenta & all! Gross! I know I work in surgery and see some nasty stuff, but I know I DO NOT want to see that come out of me. Yuck. No wonder my stomach feels so heavy.
I weighed myself today. I'd actually lost a lb or 2. Right now I've gained 19 lbs which I am totally happy with being almot 32 weeks. It's all right on my belly too, which isn't much fun. And the stretch marks are starting to show. I know the cocoa butter doesn't really work, but trust me, I'm trying.
Oh well, off to get my shower and then to catch a little Dancing with the Stars if I can stay up. Good night!

LOL ahhh, yes, the child birth classes!! what i would've done to be a fly on the wall in your class, just to watch dan!! my dan didn't want to go, at first, but then was really glad he did. i think he thought he was gonna be the only dad in there (especially in the breast feeding class we did!!) but when he was only one of many and he started learning a lot about it all, he was glad he went.
