So I've always known that the human body is really amazing but this fact was solidified in my mind after attending part 2 of our childbirth class. There's a lot of stuff that goes on during the whole birthing processes! One major take-away that I have after seeing a few videos is that if I give birth through the vag, I DO NOT WANT A MIRROR and Husband will be up by my face, not petting the baby's head or whatever some people do! Fortunately, he did not start gagging like he did in the breastfeeding class when they showed a pics of the diaper from day one to day five but we both wanted to look away from the train wreck that was natural (and when I say natural, I do mean no drugs) childbirth. I completely respect anyone for going through that with no drugs but that's not for me...the moment I walk in the hospital, I'm going to start looking for the anesthesiologist to hook me up! Another moment of awe came this morning when I was getting my snuggle on with Husband. We kept on hearing about the importance of skin-to-skin with the new baby and how it makes your milk come in sooner, soothes baby, etc. but I didn't realize that it can also make you start leaking colostrum before baby even comes. That might have been a nice tidbit to know. As I was laying there, I felt something kind of wet on my arm and pulled away from Husband. Sure enough, a little colostrum had leaked out. My exact wording was "Don't freak out but some colostrum just leaked out and you might have a tiny bit on your back." Being the sensitive guy, Husband responded "You mean I have titty milk on me, gross!". Haha...as I've mentioned before, life is never boring in our house!
We also got the proofs back for our maternity pictures. I'll post some when we get the disk. My face looks extremely "full" in some (side note: Why do people think that saying your face is full is any better than fat?? It's the exact same thing!) but I absolutely love them. You can see one on Laurie's website (galleries - portraits) that's black and white that's one of my favorites. Husband was actually whispering "I have to fart" in my ear which is why I was laughing so hard but it (surprisingly) turned out great! www.laurieherreraphoto.com
