3.09.08 – Lamaze Weekend

So we just spent all day at Lamaze class, yet I’m not sure there’s anything that can prepare you for having a baby. In fact I think some of what they covered just makes you more nervous about having a baby.

Emily’s belly is growing just great – and therefore the little one is growing great too! Emily thinks that Lamaze class was great, but she also agrees that it was scary too. We had to watch a video of a couple of moms giving birth (not something I’m going to rent on DVD ever!), and a c-section. Then there were the relaxation techniques, and I got to “roller-pin” Emily’s back as a massage. Plus there was a quiz at the end.

I’m glad we covered it all in one day rather than over weeks, and I’m glad that we got to go to class close to when the baby’s due. In fact just today Emily went out and bought stuff for the hospital pack (munchies, baby clothes, toiletries, cards, etc), so we’re practically all set… still recovering from the videos though.
