Classes

We had our birthing class this weekend and then our breastfeeding class last night. The birthing class was one day, 6 hours in a tiny room on hard chairs. It was taught by some hippy girl that was down to earth and tried to make things simple. We just did not care too much for the class since it was based out of a different hospital than we will be going to. I asked when we signed up if that mattered and was told no, but I think it kind of did. We learned the basics and got the point. I am glad it is over with though.
Last night was the nursing class. We watched a video and the consultant ran through some facts and info for us. I feel a little better about it, but it still freaks me out. I can only try, right? I was happier to go to this class since it was taught by someone that I will be in contact with after the birth and there was information given about the hospital we will be at. So much to still think about.
Tomorrow night we are going to the hospital to meet doctors and midwives and to get a tour of the maternity floor. I am so excited! I have been there once before, but not with a tour. Everyone is great and friendly. I can't wait!!

Baby update...The little guy is doing well. I had an appt last week and according to the monitors, he is "fantastic" and "perfect." That is always nice to hear. He is in a great position and has a strong heartbeat. He still needs to be chased with the monitor because he has not quite mastered staying still, but his movements are my reassurement that all is well. I am still in pain with my carpel tunnel due to the swelling, but we are almost done! I have another appt. this week and we will see what news we get.
