Childbirthing Knowledge

So there was a little drama about our childbirth classes (aka what to expect, when to go to the hospital, and Good Lord, is this really what I'm about to go through?).  Apparently, one should schedule these things around month 4, not month 6.

This was not in my manual.

But, God is faithful and opened up a class just in time for Man and I to participate.  Half of it reaffirmed information that Man and I had already gleaned from our research.  The other half can be summed up with our two responses to the childbirth video: "Messy" and "Lack of privacy."

Okay, so you get a private room.  With hardwood, dimming lights, and place for your own music. Oh, and a Jacuzzi tub.

Yea, I guess I should stop complaining about the childbirth process given such pleasant accommodations.

So, instead, I'll let you witness the moment when Man's temporary pregnancy experience.  The instructor was pretty surprised.  "Wow, usually the first thing the men do is grab the boobs..."

As our teacher explained: "I only put 15 lbs of warm water in there, so this is pretty light."  

I have so far gained 20 lbs. The average is 25 to 35 lbs, so Man got off lightly.

"What's the hardest task for you?"

"Sitting and picking up something from the floor."

"Okay."  And then a pen was tossed on the floor.  "Go ahead and try to get that."

Though my favorite moment summed up the experience:  "Do you feel sexy now..?" 

Me too, honey, me too.
