Things I learned in Childbirth Class, Pts III and IV
Okay, there wasn't really anything I learned in the 3rd childbirth class that I feel like I can post for the world to see without blushing. Rest assured that it was very informative and will make the parenting process that April and I will go through easier.
There were, however a few things I learned in the 4th class that I will share:
- Some people go to their pediatrician until they graduate college
- Some pediatricians keep seeing people until they graduate college
- Norman's hospital is nice
- April and I both like hospitals*
- The labor rooms at Norman have tvs with DVD players, so I could theoretically bring in Kill Bill to watch during the day-long process of April having this baby to acclimate myself to blood and guts**
In other baby news, we experienced another ultrasound on Monday, and our baby is healthy. All of his parts look to be coming in correctly and he is still a boy. It has gotten less weird to think about a baby being present in April at all times. Just the other day, we were lounging on the couch, and I felt the baby kick four times in rapid-fire-Chuck-Norris-like succession. It was great and effectively doubled the number of times I've felt him kick.
I finally posted some pictures from the trip April and I took to Colorado back in September to Flickr. We've been meaning to do it forever, but never have. Click on the little flashing photo thing off to the side to go check them out. Here's one to whet your appetite:

*She says they're cozy. Babies come from hospitals. You get to ride an elevator.***
**I probably will not
***April expressed that she would be disappointed if they expected her to have the baby on the first floor since we would be robbed of an elevator ride or two
