Childbirth Classes

Jesus and I have begun our childbirth classes at the hospital. Our second class was last night. We've both decided that it's not nearly as bad and boring as we thought it would be. It really helps that the instructor has a sense of humor. She reminds us of a certain Type A, "red" (very red) woman at church. She has the same mannerisms and it's just funny! Last night we did some massage and relaxation techniques. The instructor needed a volunteer, so I gave Jesus the "go be the volunteer" elbow. He's so glad he did! She used him to show everyone how to do the massages. What an awful thing to volunteer for! The massage and relaxation is our homework for the week. It's going to be a terrible week. She also had the birthing ball out for everyone to try. Jesus decided that we were stopping by Fred Meyer to get one on the way home. And we did! I'm just surprised it didn't get pumped up last night. I'm sure it will be by the time I get home tonight.
