Today after we were doing registering we had to hoof it to make our first baby class. I really have to take a minute to talk about how wonderful my husband is. I have had a total of 8 baby appointments, and he has not missed a single one. I would understand if he had to, but I can see how important it is for him to be there for me and our baby. He is an amazing man and I know he is going to make an amazing father. I am such a lucky women. I love you babe and thank you for everything.
Ok so back to our class. Tonight our class was going to focus on the discomforts of pregnancy, warning signs, nutrition/exercise, breathing and relaxation. I found this class to be very informative. I learned a lot about different techniques and how important protein is for our baby. Ok so towards the end of the class we watched a video called, The Stages of Labor. Most of this video was pretty cut and dry. However though, there was this one part at the end that nobody was expecting…the delivery of the placenta, (reader discretion is advised.) Let me tell you, it all happened so fast that there was no way to turn away. I had no idea what to expect, I had always heard that delivering the placenta was easy, yeah maybe so but they don’t mention the details of it and how huge it is. It is crazy how squeamish everyone got, including me. Ben says we should be thanking that thing because it is what provides our baby with all the essentials he needs to grow. This is very true, so no matter how gross it is, I am thankful for it.
