Last week D and I took a “refresher” course at the hospital. There were only two other couples in the class, plus two nursing students who were there to participate/observe. The other two couples both already had a daughter that is around two years old, just like us, AND they are both expecting boys this time around, like us. We had the same teacher as we did the first time. This course was only 4 hours, compared to the 8 hour course we took before. We were supposed to watch some graphic videos again, and again, I averted my eyes. Watching a caesarean birth just does not seem necessary to me. It was good, however, to review the breathing/coping with the pain techniques since we didn’t really get a chance to put them to use last time. Going through the class brought back lots of memories, both pleasant and not so pleasant. It is difficult to believe that we will be going through the whole experience again in such a short period of time. Meanwhile, I’m trying to finish up work and starting to go into nesting mode.
