I'm Ready for Labor!

Well as much as a man can be. We took our "Childbirth On the Go" Class last night. It was a cruch course of all sorts of techniques to help bear with labor. Case in point, the breathing is not to forget the pain or anesthetics, but they pointed this out, when in pain we grimace and tense and HOLD OUR BREATH. These things actually increase the duration of labor and could put stress on the little one. Breathing helps oxygen flow to the contracting uterus and help it do what it needs to do.

We also found out that the birthing rooms have Jacuzzis and 2 Plasma TV's How neat is that :)

Sara's pretty convinced Little one will be here on or very near the due date, so that puts us at basically the 2 week mark.

Dang your hospital sounds pretty snazzy. Ours didn't even have a tub let alone a plasma.

I can't wait to get the phone call. My phone is probably overcharged!
