Lamaze. Hmmm. It's going to take so much more than that to impress me.

Most of the LONG class was devoted to the anatomy of the mother and (get this) fertilization of an egg. Actually, how an egg is fertilized and it's trip to the uterus and growth and development. DUH. Gee, how did I end up in this class? Lemme see...I fertilized an egg...tell me something I don't know!!! I got rather bored rather quickly, and poor Mark...well, I was so glad he stayed awake for it, lol. The best part of the class was the relaxation techniques, I got to lay down on my side and get a message from head to foot, which I almost fell asleep too but I don't see this actually working when I'm in labor. Then we switched off and coaches and daddies got the massages and Mark almost fell asleep until I tickled him, heh. Some of the guys there were not comfortable with being massaged, although I think that if they were at home and the women folk were doing it it would have been totally different.

In any case I got freebies. And a lamaze video narrated by Oprah I shall have to return. No problem.

I just opened one of the freebie diaper things. Newborn cord care diapers...so little...no way my baby will fit his butt in that. I can't fathom taking care of a being and being a mother to something so small and fragile...freaking scary. Damn these diapers are cute. I'm sure I'll get over that soon enough.

I'm not feeling too well today but then when am I ever feeling well? Ever since I hit my third trimester it seems I never feel 100%. And I had a scare this morning but I seem to be doing fine now, I thought I was leaking water, but it stopped now and there is no blood, and no pain, and I called my midwife and she said check frequently, if it continues or worsens ER for me. So I am watching carefully, and I'm going to take it easy today. I am going to try to clean and I'm going to heat up dinner but I think that shall be the extent of it.

Even so, last night was fun :D

Ok so. I'm a hungry foo and I'm going to find something to eat now.
