Went to our birthing class last week. Or maybe it was a pre-natal class. Or a pre-natal birthing class ... not really sure.
Either way, instead of taking multiple classes we opted to attend one very long 8-hour session which gobbled up an otherwise perfectly usable Saturday.
It was pretty eye-opening though.
We practiced breathing without hyperventilating. Learned what to do when Kate showers me with profanities in the delivery room. And watched videos to see what it looked like for overly-weighty and overly-hairy women to give birth in the early 80s.
We didn't get a diploma or a certificate or anything.
But, considering I managed not to fall asleep while lying on the floor watching movies in a darkened room while splayed out with a pillow and blanket ... I still feel like I achieved something.
