Preparation for childbirth...

David and I have been taking the baby classes at the hospital. And man, watching those videos are really not encouraging... David was munching on his Subway sandwich watching the white waxy baby emerge from the birth canal, and I was sort of feeling a bit ill. I mean, the idea of having a 7lb baby emerging from me is not exactly heartening. That and the screaming of the women in the average 24 hours of labor also did not make me feel that good either. Luckily, I was not eating. Part of me wants Caroline to tell me all of the gory details of Noah's birth, but the rest of me says it is better not to know. There was a recent study that said that people would rather feel more pain immediately than to dread knowing that a lesser pain is coming. I am pretty sure that is how I feel right now. I want to just get it done, not spend too much time thinking and obsessing about it. We have 8 more hours of baby classes tomorrow with several hours on pain management, so let's see how it goes... :)
