Class #1

A and I went to our first childbirth class last night.  We were both pretty tired and a little nervous, but excited to know more.  We are in a small class, which I think will be fun because we will get to know the other couples a little easier.  I didn't know quite what to expect, but last night was fun.  We had a little bit of informative discussion and then went for a tour of the labor and delivery section of the hospital.  I have to admit, it was quite scary to realize how soon we will be there. I was surprised by the size of the labor and delivery room and impressed by how nice it was.  The postpartum rooms were a different story.  A even commented, "we have to stay in there?"  I guess they're trying to motivate us to go home sooner than later!  They weren't "not nice," just not as large or well decorated as the labor and delivery rooms.  Oh well, at that point we will be exhausted and thrilled to be spending time with Baby T, so we probably won't care too much anyway.  We have three more weeks of classes, and I'm sure we will learn a lot in that time.  The instructor said we would be watching a video next week - wish us luck!
