Childbirth Education Begins

We had to go back to work today, and of course it was hectic as usual. Mommy continues to learn how to leave work at work, and tries not to bring it home with her and take her stress out on Daddy. I realize it is hard to do sometimes, but it's easy to talk myself into doing it now before you arrive. As soon as you arrive, no more work will be coming home with me! I think Daddy is glad about that too...he is the one that gets to see me stressed all the time and he certainly does not enjoy that. I didn't being work home with me tonight though cause we started our childbirth education classes tonight. I purposely didn't set any expectations for Daddy, cause I wanted to see his reaction without me asking for it in advance. We learned quite a bit the first night, and I think it will start to put things into perspective a little more each day. Once I know what to expect, I think it will put my mind at ease about the entire birthing process and bringing you into this world. There is definitely a lot to know though, and I am fearful that I will not learn everything in time for your arrival. My assumption is that most Mommy's go through these feelings though, so I am going to just take it day by day and see how things go. I know we have a lot of support, so you don't have to worry about us taking great care of you! We are bound to make some mistakes along the way, but I promise you that we are going to do the best we can. Our next class is not scheduled until 1/10/06, so more to come at that point.
