First Child Birth Class

We had our first Child Birth class. I think it is going to be very beneficial. Our teacher is Janet Jackson....haha :P There are 12 couples there and I was surprised a lot of them are due in Feb! I am happy to say I am not the BIGGEST or the OLDEST there! WOOOOOT! So Janet started by explaining what the class was all about, then we watched a video on labor and delivery. I am not sure about anyone else, but my eyes almost popped out of my head! LOL I know how babies are born,but to see it.....it is not pretty and scared me a little. I think that by the time I am done with the class....I will feel a little better. The end of the class we spent doing breathing exercises (he he who) and relaxation techniques. I really enjoyed this time and slept like a baby when I got home. I am looking forward to the rest of our classes! I think my DH even enjoyed himself.

Alcoholics Anonymous

Well I have decided I better join Alcoholics Anonymous. Not because I have a drinking problem. Its because I am going to have a drinking problem in a few years. I am thinking now.....I will have a 2 year old, 14 year old step-son and a 16 year old step-daughter. What the heck was I thinking!? I think I better start with the classes now, so I have the steps down by then! I can see it now. Hi....I am Kristen....I am not an Alcoholic YET, but I will be in 2 years! The funny thing is....I don't drink a huge amount and since I got pregnant, I have been craving Kahlua bad!

I recently signed Bill and I up for Child Birthing Classes ( Did you know....there are a ton of classes now!? Its not just Lamaze) Here is a description of the class we are going to take Description: These classes prepare mother and her support companion to become more physically, mentally, and emotionally ready for labor, birth, and postpartum. A variety of coaching, breathing, and relaxation techniques are demonstrated and practiced during class. Instruction covers the process of birth, pain management of labor, decision making, and the transition to parenthood. We have to go once a week for 4 weeks. Should be fun! LOL I will let you know how it goes.
