Birthing Class!

     Chris and I attended a Birthing class this past weekend at Womens Hospital. With my insurance through work, we are required to attend three classes, the first we attended in June was " Our changing Body", the one we attended this past weekend was a two day class and it was "Birth and Baby" and the last one we have to attend is "Breastfeeding". By attending these classes we have awesome Maternity Benefits. We receive all of our prenatal care, hospital stay, Baby stay, procedures, and Postpartum care for $100. We call him our "Clearance Baby".
    These classes have been pretty good so far. As far as the Labor and Delivery part I knew alot of it, however when it comes to baby- I have no Clue!!!  Chris seemed to have been the class clown at times, especially when the instructor played a CD of a baby crying and handed a babydoll to Chris and told him to tell the class what he would do to make the baby stop Cyring and he paused, and then handed the baby to ME! Everyone in the class laughed- except me. We learned everything from timing contractions, learning when the right time to go to the hospital, breathing techniques, labor and delivery to diapering babies, burping them and bathing them. Lots of information in a small amount of time.
   We have been attending our birthing classes with a friend that I work with and her husband Josh. She is due Nov 1st, so we have been able to share alot of the same things together this pregnancy. Chris and Josh had a great time showing us how to take care of babies and learning all the crazy things about childbrith. I now know why  God made women to have babies not Men. They couldn't do it!!!
