Birth and Baby Class

Josh and I took our "Birth and Baby" class this weekend. My insurance company has this healthy pregnancy/birth program where you have to take 3 free classes (a pregnancy class, birth and baby class and a breastfeeding class(all of which the public has to pay for) and then all of the prenatal OB and delivery of the baby only costs $100! We joke that little guy is our "clearance baby", because we are saving thousands of dollars with this program. I am glad that we "have" to take the classes, but I am not sure I could convince Josh to go otherwise. One of my friends/coworkers, Beka, is due about a month after me, so we signed up for all the classes together. I think that the boys really appreciated this, having someone to goof off with. Our instructor used a lot of humor, so the four of us laughed our way through. Josh was traumatized just a little bit with all of the information he learned and the videos he watched.

This was a face I got a lot as Josh learned about the messy birth experience and "fun" things to come after!

So that's what the pillows are for!
We got a letter in the mail telling us to bring 2 pillows, Josh asked "What do we need pillows for?", I haven't ever done this before either so I said "I can only imagine from what I have seen in the movies". The pillows were used for propping so WE could practice breathing and relaxation when WE are in labor!

Just funny
