Child Birth Class

Last night was our first child birth class. I had to go by myself as Keith is in Maryland for work. I was a little anxious about going by myself, mostly because I was scared of what everyone else would think, but it wasn't like that at all. I was the only one there by myself but was able to explain myself during introductions.

Overall it was a really great class. There are about 13 couples in the class. No one I know really well but I can see some friends coming out of this and I am excited. The class meets every Monday for seven weeks from 7-9. The nurse who is teaching has 30 years of OB experience so I can already tell there is a lot to be learned from her.

I wish Keith had been able to be there with me because there were things I wanted him to hear, mostly because they were funny and I never seem to remember these things. Hopefully they will come up again.

We learned some partner stretches to do and we are supposed to do them every other night. I told Keith we will start doing them when he gets home. He sounded excited about it, I know I am because it felt so good when we did them in class. We ended the class with a relaxation session which was so awesome. They turned the lights down, and put on a tape and we all laid on the floor with our pillows and blankets that we brought with us. It was a great way to end the class except I didn't want to get up and drive home, but I did and I slept great last night so I might have invest in one of these tapes. It would be worth it for the great sleep.

Hope everyone has a great day.
