"He He Hooooo"

Scott and I completed our hospital's childbirth class yesterday, and I feel like this was totally one of those things straight out of a TV show.  You know, the whole sitting around in a dark room practicing breathing and sitting on pillows thing?  This does happen in real life it turns out.  Reality got a lot weirder to me just now.

It was a good use of time since neither Scott nor I have been motivated to really want to learn about such things.  I would love to say that I'm one of those women who wants to watch Call the Midwife, but heck no.  Never ever.  So forced birth learning was perfect for us.  I think the only thing that almost made Scott sick was the talk of the placenta (which, by the way, no one needs to see...in a class...in real life...in any situation...unless you're the placenta examiner).  The rest of the class was good though.  I can't say it really put us at ease or anything, but it was informative!

Other things we learned...

*LDS Hospital has some pretty nice stone-work inside which Scott told me he'd point out to me in detail next time we're there...mhmm...

*My birth plan is still to avoid pain and to pray a lot.

*Many details about other class members' bodies and pregnancies that we wish we did not know.

I asked Scott what was most surprising to him, and he said, "I learned I'll probably be more involved in this than I hoped I would be."  You and me both, Scott.  You and me both.
