becoming parents

so we started our lamaze classes on monday.

good thing jeremy and i are so mature...

we did an exercise where i'm suppose to pick out relaxing, soothing words out of a list (for jer to use when i'm freaking out in labor)

we're looking through the list...

jeremy points at "flaccid"

i crack up.

and then there's "sagging"

we're both busting up.

our instructor asks us if we have something to share.

we're those students.

and then during the progressive relaxation,

the lights are turned down,

and it's silent aside from the instructor's voice and everyone's deep breathing.

and I can hear jeremy chuckling next to me.

what?

later he tells me, he's thinking "oh man, it's so quiet... someone's going to let it riiiiiiiiiiiip!!"

our instructor is pretty good at using "your partner" when she's referring to our support,

but she slips up when we're practicing our relaxation techniques

and says "baby daddy"

jeremy can barely stiffle his laugh

and I can feel his body shaking as he laughs.

we discuss the favorite things and least favorite things about pregnancy.

the boys and girls split up.

a couple positive things from the boys list:

designated driver, "you can't get pregnant again"

yeah, we got some funny ones in the class.......

also, the last thing mentioned was "no more fertility treatments"

which brought tears to my eyes.

it breaks my heart to hear about or read about struggles with infertility.

it's really nice to hear about success and just silently be so so happy for them. :)

we also got a lecture on diet

and healthy eating for the pregnancy and after birth as well.

instantly I started craving an oreo mcflurry from mcdonalds.

nice.

yes, we did get one on the drive home.

all in all, the class was great.

we have the earliest due date, by about a month.

but that's okay, we'll get 4/6 classes in if our babe doesn't come early.

good thing i have my funny funny husband for the next couple of monday nights!
