So tonight was our last night of the prepared child birth class. I really enjoyed it I felt like I learned a good bit. The practicing breathing techiniques was funny but man it will definitely wear you out. The husbands didn't know whether they should breathe or not so they were and it was funny when looking around the room because they were all looking around to make sure the other men were doing it too...It was cute. We also got to tour the labor/delivery room, postpartum and my favorite.....the nursery. It looked like there were four babies in the nursery and they were sooo precious. This one little boy I think had just been born. He had the vasoline on his eyes and was being checked out by the doctor. He was being so good. He just kept trying to go to sleep and then would wake up and look around like he was so confused. I think he was getting used to being outside of his mommy. But he wasn't fussy or anything. He was just chilling. I could have sat there and stared at the babies the whole night. Ryan had to ask me twice if I was ready to go. I am such a nerd when it comes to babies. I can't wait to have Kale in my arms. The nurse told us that when we spent the night in the hospital we would have the choice of having the baby in our room or in the nursery. I definitely want him in our room. I know I need to rest and everything but we will be having both of our moms in town to help us the first week and I know my mom is going to make sure that I get enough rest she is here to help. So I am not to worried.
We also have to make the decision on if we want him to have a passy, I don't know about that yet. I am going to have to talk to Ryan. The nurse that taught our breast feeding basics said to try and hold off on giving the baby a passy for like a week or two but my mom said she gave them to us and we were fine. I definitely want to see if we can stay for only the twenty four hours. Not the two days. So I hope all is well with me and Kale so that we don't have to stay in there for more than that. I think I will be ready to come home, just because hospitals gross me out and I will jut want to get him home and comfortable and both mine and Ryan's mom will be here plus my grandparents and my sister. We will have lots of little helpers :)
