week 3

last night was week three of our childbirth class and all i can say is WOW! i told kenny that it was a good thing that i didn't know about all this stuff before we were trying to conceive or i might not have allowed conception to occur. things like "tearing" and "the ring of fire" are NOT on my "things i want to experience in life" list.

on a happier note, we toured the hospital last night and were able to see the labor and delivery tub rooms they have, as well as the postpartum rooms. the labor and delivery rooms are nice and spacious--kenny will even have a "bed," though i don't know that i'll actually let him use it ;), but the postpartum rooms are a different story! we'll be spending the majority of our time in the postpartum rooms and they only have one uncomfortable-looking chair (other than the hospital bed i'll be confined to). the thought of spending 36 hours in there might be the motivation i need to find a pediatrician (one with weekend hours if possible).

next week's class will be even better!! *sarcasm* week four covers all possible complications during labor and delivery. kenny picked the perfect week to skip, but poor chenelle, who has so kindly stepped in to fill his place.
