  • Birthing Class Reunion

    We had our birthing class reunion tonight. We took a great 5 week class at our hospital with 8 other expecting couples. It was such a cool experience to be with all these other folks expecting around the same time, going through similar experiences and emotions. We had a great instructor named Jo, who did a wonderful job teaching with so much heart and enthusiasm.

    During our reunion we went around and each shared our birthing experience from the mom and dad's points of view. It was like we were sharing battle stories! :O It turned out half the moms ended up with c sections! Definitely more than the hospital average and more than we all expected.

    I think all the other moms that had c sections had it a lot tougher than I did. I think my labor and recovery was pretty easy compared to the things they shared. After hearing their stories I feel encouraged to revisit our birth story and write it down so we can remember and one day share with Luke if he wants to hear it. Gonna try and sift through the notes we took and write it out.

    Here's a cute photo from the reunion:

    Luke wasn't a fan of the photo portion of the reunion. Kekee Too cute!! We loved seeing all the babies together!
