Well Sheryl and I had classes on Friday (6-9) and Saturday (8-4). We learned about drugs, breathing, relaxing, having the baby, care for newborns, etc..... We also got a tour of the baby floor. They only had 1 birthing room open.
At Mercy Hospital they have started where you are in one room for labor and another for recover. They had to start doing that again I guess because of the floor space...and also so you can rest and not hear someone else scream!
I learned a lot. Sheryl also learned some, but she had gone through the classes before. She was the only one in class that had gone through birth before. So the teacher would use her as an example and ask her questions. Sheryl's first class was for a couple of hours a week for 6 weeks. She said she like this crash course better... you don't have time to forget before the next class.
Only a short time left.... I can't wait.... I CAN wait for the moments of seeing Sheryl in Pain... but I can't wait for that small bundle of joy to be here!

At first I read it as "I can't wait to see Sheryl in pain..." I thought, that doesn't sound like Eric. So I went back and read it as it really said. I CAN wait for the moments of seeing Sheryl in Pain... but I can't wait for that small bundle of joy to be here! That made more sense.
I wish they had those classes when I had my kids. You surely understand more of what is going on than I ever did.
Time is getting shorter and than the scary part of more responsiiblity and extra work will start for the 2 of you.

I did learn a lot more, but noticed that I was much more comfortable with all the exercises that we were doing just because I've done it before. When you've had one all modesty doesn't matter to you anymore. The comfort is what you are looking forward to. I remember when I was pregnant with Maria that I was uncomfortable with all those things. So that is kind of more relaxing for me this time.
I do know that the bath and shower I loved with Maria. I did find out this weekend that I like the physical therapy ball. I'm thinking we will try that along with a lot more walking.
I'm scared of the pain, but I just have to remember what the results will be from the pain...a little being of the two of us.
