Don't push until someone tells you it's ok to push! NOW PUSH! Birthing partner counts to 10 while you hold your breath and push! (now, today, we're really not pushing so you all don't go into preterm labor, but just pretend!) 1 -- 2 -- 3...10!!!! short breath and again! 1 --2 -- 3...10!!!! good pushing! Baby's head is out, one more push 1 -- 2 -- 3 and he's out!
Birth class! That's how we spent yesterday...all day long! Yeah, it's all going to be that easy!
We did get some good information though. I guess it's good to know a little bit about what to expect. I just think that you never know what it's going to be like until you're there. We just have to trust that God will get me through the pain and deliver a healthy baby boy!
The funniest thing (but I love it) is that we had to go straight to Academy afterwards to get a stop watch so daddy can time the contractions when it comes time!! No, the watch or clock on the wall won't work, we got a stop watch! What daddy doesn't know that they didn't even use stop watches on me in high school running track...the clock on the wall worked just fine! :)
Now, gotta go practice....he he whooooo....he he whoooooo....

Over 31 weeks... wow, Katie! He'll be here so soon! We are very excited for you two. I'm sure you will do great through all of it! And it sure helps having a wonderful and loving spouse, willing to help you get through it all. Sounds like we're equally blessed with ours!
