Childbirth Class = Slightly Traumatizing

Last Thursday we went to our first childbirth class at the University Hospital.  I was excited to go just because it meant we were that much closer to having our little girl!!  But I was also wondering what we would experience this first class.  I tried to warn Kyle that we might be seeing something we really didn't want to, but I didn't want to completely scare him out of going! 
Anyway, the class started out great.  We talked about what we would discuss through the rest of the course, our likes and dislikes of pregnancy and the teacher gave us some tips that were supposed to help with back pain (we never really got these down, so don't ask me what they were!) 
Then, the teacher started getting the projector set up and I knew that we were in for some fun.  So, of course we watch a video that shows a live birth, not leaving anything out...I won't elaborate.  Somehow Kyle and I missed this part of health class back in the good old days in High School.  Lets just say that I was only slightly traumatized, but Kyle almost lost it!  He'll definitely be standing by my head when the time comes.  He's so cute, the next morning he said he kept seeing the little head pop out all night. 
We are so excited though, we only have 8.5 weeks to go until we meet our little girl!
