Now it Feels Real!
May 7, 2008 by Geoff Manning · 1 Comment
If the last 9 months and my wife’s large belly wasn’t real enough, we just completed our birthing classes at the hospital (MGH). Now it has really hit home…we’re having a baby! We are now certified to give birth! Well, not really certified but they did hand out certificates to those who wanted them. I should have taken one and hung it next to my college diploma!
Reading the “What to Expect” type books are helpful but nothing was more real than sitting in a room with 6 other pregnant couples learning about the birthing process. The instructor was great and the material was informative but hearing the stories and questions from the other couples was the most important thing.
Following along the “Now it Feels Real” theme, after the class was complete we came home to wash all the baby’s new clothes. If we didn’t get the picture yet about how close we are to being parents, trying to figure out how to fold those tiny little clothes was pretty interesting!
It’s almost baby time, stay tuned!
