Child Birth 101

Last night was the first night of our Bradley Method Child Birth classes. Sarah and Troy took the same class (from a different instructor) before they had Jack. Sarah recommended the Bradley Method and since she was such a pro in the delivery room I signed us up. The class is small, only five couples so we meet at the instructor's house. The class went great, I learn several pregnancy exercises and we were taught some relaxation techniques. We practiced the relaxation techniques in class so that we could make sure we were doing them correctly. Brian was a great coach, he rubbed my back and said relaxing things like..."Just imagine practicing this at home with Turner & Ike wrestling on you and trying to lick your face."
The last 10 minutes of class was the dreaded child birth video. Sarah had warned Brian the there would probably be a video on the first day, and begged me to take a picture of his face when he was watching it. The video wasn't too graphic and Brian didn't even try to cover his eyes!
The class got over around 9:30 PM and here is where things started to go wrong. I opened my car door and immediately saw the drivers side seat covered in glass and there was a huge hole in the windshield! We had parked under a tree so at first I thought a branch had fallen on to the car, but there was no branch to be found. We looked around the car and finally saw a huge rock in the backseat. I don't know if they were bored, didn't like my PHS Proud sticker in the back window or didn't like our instructor's husband who is a cop, but absolutely nothing was missing so it was somebody just being an a-hole. There was no way we could drive the car home, but luckily we were about a mile from my friend Cari's parent's house. I called their house and without hesitating, Jim told us to drive on over and we could park it in their garage. When we got there he was warming up his truck to give us a ride home! Hopefully next week's class is much less eventful.

  1. Good Grief!! That was so uncool...wonder what the a-hole was thinking. Thank God for great friends like Cari's parents! And, now you have an interesting story to tell P when he grows up! ;o)
