Lamaze!

Wow! We just came back from our all-in-one-day lamaze class! Apparently people take this class over the course of six weeks! Man! Not us! Plenty of information, enough to freak me out a little, but to spread it out over six weeks would be a stretch! We learnt how to breathe properly for the different stages of labor and for daddy to do what mommy says when she says it.. Sounds good! But then we also discussed PAIN. Not so funny anymore. There was a DVD to watch also in which we got to see an actual vaginal birth. OUCH! But oh so emotional! We both cried a little I think. I weigh in at a good 180 pounds or so now, never been heavier in my life. Bingo has turned its little head downwards, but is still kicking up a storm! Little feet tickling my ribs now and then. WE really can't wait to meet him or her!

Well, at 33 weeks now, Bingo's arrival is around the corner! After today's class, we are at least a little more prepared for the big day!

Wow! Sounds like a lot of information to cram into one day. There's some good info about the Lamaze method at this Healthline site
