Child Birthing class - 1st session

OK ladies and gents. Jeff and I started our Child birthing class last night. We are going every Wednesday for 3 weeks from 7:00pm - 9:30pm. I'd say there are maybe another 20 couples in there as well (so a pretty good size class). So far, I haven't really been impressed. I did get some good and new information from it, but most of the things we talked about I have already heard from my "mom friends" or just knew from common sense. Don't get me wrong, I am very glad we are taking this class and think it will be well worth the time, I just wish it was a little more interesting. It is pretty boring. And the videos...ummm, they must have been taped in the 70's! I mean really, we can't come up with some up to date stories?! They were awful. And I thought maybe they wouldn't last the ENTIRE 2.5 hours (since 9:30 is, well, kinda late for us pregnant women)! But no, she made sure she used EVERY minute. We all got down on the floor with our pillows and blankets and practiced some breathing excercises. She then told us to try it again and pick a focal point. I picked the clock, and all I kept thinking was, "OK hands, move faster, I wanna go to bed." Ha ha... Next week is supposed to be the graphic week (with the graphic birthing videos). Anyone who knows me, knows I am not looking forward to that one! I will be looking at my toes most of the time and thinking, "Man, I need to get a pedicure!" I have no desire to know what it looks like coming out. So that's all I have to say about that. I'm sure I will have more to say after session 2! Ta-ta for now!
