1st Birthing Class

Jason & I went to our 1st birthing class last night. There are 5 other couples in the class besides us. We went around the room and introduced ourselves, said what our due date is, if we're having a boy or a girl, what we expect to gain from the class and a hobby we like. 3 couples are having girls, one couple is having a boy and 2 couples (including us) are having surprise babies! Last nite, we went over the the stages of labor, watched a labor/birth video that was from the 1980's (those birthing videos are always an eye opener!) & did some relaxation techniques. I think we'll get good information from this class. The book they gave us seems to go over a lot of things I didn't know. I like to have as much knowledge as I can so I know more of what to expect. The instructor is kinda boring, but I guess she just started teaching these classes so she's probably just getting a feeling for them. She's actually a labor/delivery nurse at St Luke's, so there is a chance she could be one of my nurses when I deliver.
