So then Saturday we had our childbirth class. It was about a 6 hour class. We were excited about it but also dreading it because it was so dang long. There were only about 6 couples in the class so it wasn't very big at all. We learned a lot of good stuff and got to ask a lot of questions. We both REALLY could have done without the videos at the beginning though. They showed 3 videos. The first one, the lady didn't have any drugs at all, the second, she was induced, and the third had an epidural. The only thing these videos did was make me even more nervous and panicky about the delivery. I started to get really short breathed and started to feel a panic attack coming on slowly. Just seeing the pain these women were going though and then seeing the baby come out at the end, I could have done without that part! hehe. Plus these videos were done in like 1980, so the dad had a nice mullet kickin and all. It was pretty amusing but informative and disgusting all at the same time!! Mike was of course the class clown as always. Well him and this other guy. This other couple sat in front of us, we became friend with them. Mike and this guy were the "funny ones" of the group. So the teacher asked if any of the men wanted to see what it felt like to be this pregnant (all of the women were about a week before or after me). So of course Mike says I'll try it out. So he tried on the stomach that was filled with sugar and stuff. He put it on and said, "it's not that bad" all the women were like BOO!!! hehe. I said yeah but you had it on for like what a minute!!! hehe. I posted a few pics of him trying it out. it was pretty funny.
Oh and another funny thing happend while we were in the class. The night before when we had gone to see the movie, I REFUSE to pay $5 for some popcorn, plus it's all buttery and so bad for you, so I always bring in my own popcorn. I know I'm cheap and horrible, but I don't care, I feel better about eating it and it's free!! So I took everything out of my purse and put a few bags in and we ate in at the movie, worked out great. So during class the teacher was like man, it really smells like popcorn in here all of the sudden!! Haha, Mike and I just started dying laughing. We could not stop. I didn't want to say, oh that's just my purse since I'm too cheap to buy movie popcorn I brought in my own! haha. It was pretty funny. So we finished the class and we were glad we took it.
So after the class we had a lot to do!! we had some people coming over to watch the UFC fight at our house. So we had to clean and go to the store, plus I was soo sleepy. This 3rd trimester fatigue has definitely set in, I'm so tired a lot. So we got home and cleaned then went to the store. Everyone showed up about 8:00 and we all ate, drank (well they did) and watched the fights. It was fun to hang out with everyone. One of his friends brought his dog, him and Sam just played and played until they couldn't play any more. It was pretty funny.
Then Sunday we woke up, had breakfast and then did some things around the house until we had to be at the hospital for our tour. We showed up and there was another family coming out of the elevator and said that the tour had been cancelled. We were like what? no way! So we all (plus another couple that showed up) went and thought if we all went together, maybe they would change their minds. They had a sign out that said that the next tour was June 18th, we were like geez, that's only a week or so away from my due date!! So as we were standing there, 2 other couples showed up. The nurse then felt bad and said wow, Ok, I guess I'll go ahead and give you guys the tour since there are so many of you. Then while we were waiting, 2 more couples showed up. So it all worked out great. We had a great tour. The rooms were actually pretty darn nice. The hospital is newer, so the rooms were a good size and very clean. it was so weird though. There was NOONE there. I mean noone. I would rather it be like that than pregnant women screaming everywhere but it was just weird. So we had our tour and then went home to nap. Well I napped and Mike went to home depot where he bought even more plants. He's growing his own garden. I have to say that I'm pretty impressed. He's growing tomatoes, spinach, zucchini, jalapenos, cantalope, bellpeppers and a few other things. I'm glad one of us is into this kinda stuff. :) So soon enough we will be able to just go out back and pick some veggies, plus they are healthier for us.
So then Monday comes around and we actually have NOTHING to do today. Mike is off since it's Memorial Day. So I'm like, lets go to the trails I found that one time in Grapevine and walk around. So we headed to Grapevine. I was soo sleepy but knew I needed to get out of the house! But we got to the trails and we had to pay like $10 to get in, I guess because it was memorial Day. We didn't have any cash on us, so I was like, lets just go to downtown and walk around. So we did. It was fun but started to get pretty hot. We took a few funny pics from this one store we went into. These shirts were hillarious.
So anyways, after Grapevine, we just headed to the house and grilled some fajitas and played cards, then watched Underworld 3. not a lot. so that was our weekend. :)
