imageKat & I had another installment of our birthing class tonight – probably close to one of our last, seeing as though Kat’s in her 38th week now.

Definitely has been an intriguing experience.  I wouldn’t have thought I’d have so much to learn, seeing as though my mom was a registered nurse working in Obstetrics & Gynecology for 15 years of my life.  I was the only one in my 4th-grade class who knew what gonorrhea was.  And, as my momma worked for a while for a company that made educational birth videos, she’d often take home ones for me to watch, like the action-packed thriller “Birth in the Squatting Position”. 

However, now that all of these things are happening to my own wife, it’s a whole lot different, and I end up with a lot more questions.

Unfortunately, due to my nerdiness, I end up belting out zingers in class like today asking our instructor, “…if the baby is not in the correct presentation when she goes into labor, is there any way to edit that nondestructively?” I later realized that my wife was not a photoshop file, and the baby’s presentation had nothing to do with the presentation layer or the OSI Model, and that my question probably didn’t make much sense to the others. 

Oh well, at least I’m learning.  :)  

Also – here’s some more big-belly photos, so you can see the chronology.
