birth class

Andrew & I started the birth classes on Thursday. There are three sessions in total and only three couples, including us. The first session was not as graphic as I had it imagined it to be, which is good because I will admit, I was a bit nervous for Andrew. He can get queasy pretty easily, so far, so good. It was pretty surprising to learn that the diameter of my cervix will dilate from the size of a cheerio to the size of a grapefruit- that is impressive. We reviewed breathing techniques & positions that are suppose to help me when I am in labor. I am looking forward to our next session, I just hope this time the instructor leaves the cheesy "relaxation" music at home. I swear, I thought she was going to break out the flute and go Jethro Tull on us.
