childbirth class

So Eric and I had our first class last night...
We talked about how pregancy affects the body, what changes, etc.
We split into groups of boys and girls and made a list of pregnancy 'discomforts'. That was pretty funny... the boys had a list very comparable for the girls', but also included entries like ' avoiding cleaning house' 'lazy' and 'waddling' (Eric offered up one of those, we'll let you guess which:)
The nurse leading the class wasn't the happiest about the' avoiding cleaning' and 'lazy', because, well, pergnant women get tired easy, and shouldn't be breathing in a lot of cleaning products (OK, Eric didn't offer either of those). I figure it's the guy not being able to express exactly what they meant- one guy supposeably wasn't comtributing much because he didn'ty want to get in trouble with his girl:)
It was fun comparing some notes with other moms, but, again, I have a confirmed easy pregnancy... the teacher was impressed I can get 8 hours of sleep (it's a can, not always do... there is a difference:)
We watched a couple of videos. One was the labor process for the baby, graphic animation style. The other was the stages of labor. I think Eric is even more scared or has even more respect for me delivering a baby... but frankly, I am now alittle scared after seeing more than once exactly what all stretches how much, and how long all of the different stages of labor can take (there's the part you can do at home, then the more active stuff you do in the hospital- then delivering the baby, then delivering the placenta.
But yes a little anxious now. It's not fun.
