You don't raise heroes, you raise sons.
And if you treat them like sons, they'll turn out to be heroes, even if it's just in your own eyes.

Childbirth Education Classes

Okay....I know, I know....another post on this!!!

Honestly, some things have been great....touring the hospital and seeing a birth on video, but everything else is making me think 70's Flower Child. Last night's class was all about visualization. We listened to a CD that tried to take us to a path in a forest that brings us to a pond. OKAY is all I could think. The breathing techniques the instructor teaches are a little strange. There is one she calls slow breathing in counts of four and another one where we breath into our chest three times and on the fourth act like we are blowing out a candle, my breathng does not change at all for either of them. I apparently have very deep, slow breathing normally. Raul said that if I learned anything, it's that I have very calm breathing.

I guess we'll see in November how useful these classes have been. Next Tuesday is our last class.
