One of the joys of being expectant parents is attending birthing class. We attend ours on Tuesday night right at Manchester Memorial Hospital, where the baby will (hopefully) be born. Week one was spent breathing. Matt is very proud to proclaim that he knows how to breathe. We also saw our first birth video, which was not as gruesome as we thought it would be. The partners (as the husbands and one mom in our class are called) are supposed to bring encouragement to the mother as she goes through the contractions and start pushing. Matt has decided he will take after Bill Cosby:

(Oh Lord, help me now!)
So our second class included a tour of the hospital (including the LDRP rooms - which are as big as some hotel rooms we have stayed in.) After learning some more coping techniques we saw birth video number 2 which game Matt a fabulous idea:

This young lady, like the father in the video we watched, decided that diapering a cat was a good idea. Matt hasn't attempted it yet...but I am sure it is still on his "to-do before the baby comes" list!!
Only 4 more classes to go! (Goodness knows what Matt will take out of each of them!)
