Since Thanksgiving we've been busy every weekend. We have loved every minute with friends and family (some who stayed longer than planned!!!) but are just now having a few days of relaxation!
December was full of birthing classes (we finished now so apparently we're ready to be parents), my writing cohort, setting up the nursery and Christmas celebrations.
Birthing classes:
We learned about all the procedures and drugs that you might want/need. We also talked about different coping techniques for contractions. We practiced the "deep breathing" and "shallow breathing". I probably won't remember these when it comes time to needing them so good thing I have a partner!! Though we kept laughing during the "shallow breathing" practice because the video of this was a guy who counted "1, 2, 3" on his fingers and then made a fist and then dropped the fist when it was time for the mom to breathe out. Apparently I can't explain it very well but it was pretty funny practicing it. I'm guessing we won't use that one!
