Last Tuesday we had our final childbirth class. Of course the finale to this brief education into the world of having a baby is a video of an actual birth. I'm sure we all saw "The Miracle of Life" in high school biology class and it was gross then, but now it's just so much more relevant now. The following evening we did the tour of the maternity ward of the hospital. It's very nice. Actually, all I could think about while I was there as how impressed mom would have been. No sterile hospital waiting room like the old days. They have a beautiful lounge with a cappuccino machine, computers, WIFI, and a small kitchen. I could just picture my mother in there with a coffee and her book, not reading but talking to every other person in there. I'm sure she'd have their life stories before she left(and have given them mine in return, of course).
Anyway, this combination of the birthing video followed by the tour of the place where I will actually deliver this baby was a little bit frightening to me. I guess it just made it all seem so...real. I've enjoyed being pregnant so far and haven't really given a tremendous amount of thought to the baby actually coming out. Well, at least I know I can get a cappuccino after the delivery.
