1) Labor stinks
2) Pushing can last for HOURS! (I really thought you pushed like three times and the baby came out.)
3) If you are American, then you are trained to believe you need an epidural
4) I'm American, so I'm getting one and don't make me feel bad about it
5) I'm tired of not being able to get off the floor gracefully, especially if front of a crowd
6) Todd is not that good at keeping me relaxed...so I'm glad my mom will be there
7) I now know how to give an infant a bath :)
8) Babies are funny looking when they first come out, but they will get cuter
9) I know I was going to go to ten, but I'm out of things.
Saturday we went to a child birth class that lasted for about 7 hours, and these are all the things I could come up with that I learned. Yep, there goes that forty bucks. My favorite thing was the tour of the hospital, and I got to listen to my baby's heartbeat. While doing this, the nurse looked at me and said "Oh, you're having a girl, huh?" I informed her that her hundred years of experience still had not given her the sixth sense to tell gender from a heartbeat rate. The other funny part was how all the husbands ate all the food the teacher had brought for the class, and they always seemed to be first in line at the bathrooms. Hint for all boys reading this, always let the pregnant ladies go first, especially when they outnumber you. :)

HA! we totally didnt do the birthing class...kinda glad we didnt. i was schedualed for one...the day i was induced. yeah not to scare you but i pushed for over two hours, but thats not always normal, like mallory (roomate) she pushed like twice and she was out. so really, dont listen to every ones stories and advice, cause you are going to be different then them anywho and youll figure it out for yourself.and dont feel bad about drugs, they were invented for a reason.
That's awesome! We just found out that Jeff go into his program!!
Yes it is!! We are so blessed! Actually, he only has 3 semesters!! Unless he does the master's program, which will be another year. I'm so relieved and so happy for him!!
