Baby Class 3, Hospital Tour, and Work from home-ish



Today... Monday.... ewww, but "Baby Class" usually makes up for the Monday factor. Today's baby class was very real. Lots of episiotomy and tearing talk. Poor Michael couldn't wait for the next topic. Luckily I realized in the nic of time that one of our classmates, a fellow daddy to be, looks a little too much like Dwight Shrute from The Office. We got to giggle about that for a good hour. We learned all about where to go in the hospital and saw all of our room choices. Be forewarned... the curtains are so, so, so bad and the tvs actually have "wood" sides and KNOBs to change the channel!!! Wow. Good thing we aren't going to be there for the decor.
Everything else about class was quite normal. The Samoans were very kissy, as always; The Tall Skinny's asked questions that they already knew the answers to so they could nod in approval; The Teacher, Leah Sawyer, did her usual thing, but no acting out a contraction today : (; The Yucks were yuck and the She Yuck lifted her t-shirt sleeve, as she has done every class, to show her home done 10" rose tattoo and pouted the rest of the time; Circlage made sure everyone knew again that she has a circlage... nothing new... oh wait. We found out that the Germans hadn't been to class b/c She German went into early labor at 29 weeks and is now on bedrest.

Now this work from home thing isn't going exactly how I had planned. After discussing it today, it sounds like I will be able to work from home all of 3 days before I had planned to start my maternity leave any way. Oh well. We'll see what actually happens. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day and the A/C in my office will be working. Yes... thats right... no A/C for the pregnant girl. Why would I want to work from home??? hmmm...
