"Birthing" Class

They call it birthing class. So nice sounding. But it is GROSS, I tell you what. Last week we watched a C-section. Or, rather, everyone else watched, Ryan glanced with one eye open and I turned my back to the screen. The vaginal birth was traumatizing, too. Honestly, there isn't anything beautiful about that. Sorry, mamas. EWW.

Parts of our class are really helpful, though. We learned about basic baby care last night (Ryan can swaddle a baby better than I) and also shared tips on time saving techniques for the first few months, like online grocery ordering and freezing meals. We also found out that there are two other couples planning to cloth diaper, too. Greenies unite.

The class is just for parents of multiples and the size of the class has slowly dwindled. One couple had their baby boys at 27 weeks. 4 other couples are on bedrest and only one of them has a pass to come to class. So, we've lost 50% of the original "students."

One more class to go. I hope they spare us any more videos.
