Lamaze Night

It's Lamaze class night tonight! Woohoo! Hopefully this class will go a little better than last week's. Last week we showed up an hour early and had to wander the hospital to waste time. I was afraid we were going to pick up some crazy virulent new infection bug every time we turned a corner. Then when the class finally did start we noticed everyone was carrying in pillows and blankets. Uh oh.

Sure enough, halfway into the class and the teacher announces "Ok, get out your blanket and your pillows. Moms, I want you to lie down like this and put pillows here. Here. And here."

Luckily there were some extra pillows to be found. And two minutes later Orla was practically asleep on the floor with one hospital pillow here. One here. And one little pillow here. I was supposed to be putting my hand on the part of her body for her to focus her relaxation thoughts on. Head, shoulders, arm, hand, leg, foot. And when it came time for her to change positions I nearly had to shake her awake.

Before the class started we were talking to some of the other couples and they were complaining about having problems sleeping. "I guess we've been real lucky," I said, "Cause my wife doesn't seem to have any problems sleeping."
