So Mikey and I have completed our Childbirth Education Classes - hooray :-)
Here's what I learned....
* There is no such thing as 'Preparation for Birth' - no one can prepare you for riding that roller coaster
* Holding a fistful of ice for 1 minute bears no resemblance to having a contraction
* Every time Mike tries to say something soothing, comforting or encouraging, I have an uncontrollable urge to laugh (what does that tell you?!)
As part of our homework, we now have to prepare a birth plan (which has to be a little more detailed than 'play it by ear' Mike), find a pediatrician (more about that later), buy a car seat and pack an overnight(s) bag.
I wanted to make a playlist for my iPod too, and foolishly asked my dear sweet techie husband to take care of that for me. Here is the list so far:
Hurts so good - John Mellencamp
I'll do anything for love but I wont do that - Meatloaf
Relax - Frankie Goes to Hollywood
The first cut is the deepest - Sheryl Crow
Everybody Hurts - REM
Under pressure - Queen
Do you really want to hurt me - Culture Club
What hurts the most - Rascal Flatts
I think I'll be making my own Playlist. Feel free to offer any suggestions!
