Birthing class is OVER!

Ryan and I enjoyed (or maybe the better word is benefited) from our Multiples Birthing Class.

Casey, the instructor, was awesome. Really funny, laid back, open - all those good things you expect from a person who is successful in working with a bunch of basket cases expecting their first child(ren).

However, I am a bit happy it's over. The group was getting smaller and smaller as more women were put on bedrest. One couple had their twins at 27 weeks. Another had their twins at 30 weeks and lost one of them. How heartbreaking. Absolutely tears me up and I didn't even really know the parents - they only made it to one class before bedrest was prescribed.

As much as it is wonderful to give and receive support from other couples going through a twin pregnancy, I know I have a lot more confidence and positive thinking OUTSIDE of that classroom, where I am not always reminded that the chances of difficulty are so high. I know Ry feels the same.

Other than that, we're just truckin' along. Made it to 28 weeks, which is a very important milestone. Twins born at 28 weeks have an overwhelming chance of being A-OK in both the short- and the long-term (not that it wouldn't be a rough ride). I'm still exercising, albeit with a bit more difficulty, and doing the things I enjoy. But I'm tired all of the time again after having lots of energy during the second trimester. Maybe that is because it is 90 friggin' degrees out. YUCK. Come back, winter!
