Childbirth Class

We had our childbirth education class last weekend. It went really well. We both felt like we learned a lot and are more prepared. We got to do a tour of the hospital and it was really nice. The birthing center is all pretty new and they did a great job. There are jacuzzi tubs in all the labor and delivery rooms. They have a massage therapist on staff and every new mom gets a free massage. Every day from 2-4 they have "Mommy Time" and they bring milk and warm cookies around to each room and no nurses or doctors bother you during that time. We were on the tour when they were bringing around the cookies and they smelled so good! I made Doyle stop at the store on the way home to get me some cookies! All the dad's got to wear the pregnancy belly. It weighs 35 lbs and they have to put on a brace around their lungs so it's sort of like being squished. There is even a "bladder" that goes under the belly and pushes on their bladder. I told Doyle it still isn't the same and he says "No, it was a lot heavier that you have to carry around!" I still think it would be easier even if it is heavier because everything is on the outside of your torso, not in it, squished with all your other organs! I haven't gotten any more sympathy because of it, but it was sure funny to see him in!
