Last night we had the first of seven child birth classes that we are taking through the hospital that we will be delivering at in December.
The class was good, we are one of about 10 couples that are attending. Everyone else is farther along than we are, but I am glad that we are taking this class at this time so that we can get the information...have time to absorb it...have time to practice some of the techniques...and hopefully remember some of this information when the time comes.
We got mainly the basic information last night, and we also practiced two breathing techniques. I am looking forward to see what else we will learn in these many classes to come.
One of my favorite parts of the class was that the teacher ended the class with some quotes about childbirth and parenting, this one was my favorite and I wanted to share it with you:
"Making the decision to have a child is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body." By Elizabeth Stone

Or this famous quote ( I can't remember who said it ):
We're trying to decide whether to get a dog or have a child. Do we want to ruin the carpet, or ruin our lives?
I'm so happy you took the plunge and decided to ruin your lives. You'll love parenthood, and you're going to be great at it. I can tell by the way you garden: You clear away all the trash, you start with good stock, you cultivate, you provide lots of water and sunshine, you tuck in the sprouts with lots of cozy mulch, and you apply manure liberally. Very important, the manure. . . Can't wait to see what crops up!
love, sue
