Everyone jokes that you have to pass a test to get your driving license but anyone can have a baby. Well we’re taking just about every class there is… first we had childbirth prep, which was great – answered a lot of questions, gave us a better idea of what to expect and let us take a tour of where we’ll be delivering. We both decided we do not want a dula – personal birth coach – to sit with us. We didn’t like how they were all up in the moms face and made the dad take a back seat… awkward. They had a lot of literature and handouts – and a few life size posters depicting dilation/effacement – um yeah, basically a soda bottle to a mayo bottle – WOW!
We also had out baptism prep class… it went well. We enjoyed the tutorial (what it means to baptize your child) and what to expect the day of… the priest said it wouldn’t be a problem to have the class in CA which is great because we’ll be flying home in December and want to do it then at my home church.
Two more classes to go… breastfeeding 101 and baby basics. Not expecting anything too ground breaking, just a little more confidence as we head in to mommy- and daddy-hood!
