Franklin and I had our first Lamaze class this past Saturday. The first thing I looked at was the "syllabus" of sorts that was given to us and I immediately felt like it was my first day of school. And it exhausted me. After I got over that we did find the class informative. Once I got to lay on the floor instead of sitting in a chair I was much happier too. There are 7 other couples in the class and one guy in particular is a whack job. The instructor asked us all to talk about our pain management plans at this time. He would prefer that his wife not have any pain meds and have the baby at home like the old days. He also referred to the doctor as HER doctor, not our doctor like the other husbands said. He was just a total ass. Fortunately there wasn't much more "talking" time so we didn't have to listen to him anymore.
Taking the tour of the birthing center certainly made things seem a lot more in the now rather than in the future. I'm 34 weeks now so in theory it could happen anytime.
We have one more lamaze class and then a new baby class next week. That's the one I'm looking most forward to. :) Watching Franklin change diapers on a doll is going to be awesome!! :)

Good luck at your next class! That guy sounds like he's going to be the dad that gets out of control at sporting events.
Wow - the home stretch! Good luck with the next class - let us know how Tom does with changing diapers - I can't wait for Paul to try that one too - he said he's never even tried! It should be required that guys babysit like many of us girls did when we were younger - they'd learn a lot!
