Final Whacka-doo Update

Class 7: Bummer, they weren't able to make it to class this week! The class was enjoyable, relaxed and full of smiling couples.

Class 8: They were back with a vengeance. We brought Ike home a few hours before class so Brian stayed home with him while I went to class. I started making tally marks on my workbook every time they told a story, commented, etc. I counted up 13 marks in 2 hours!

Class 9: We were about 3 miles from the class when Brian said, "It's not too late, I can still turn the car around." I wish I had said yes! When we got there the Whacka-doo's were the only couple there. One couple had gone into labor, another mom was sick and our instructor, Laura wasn't sure about the other couple. Great just us and the crazies!!! Laura asked how we were doing with our nutrition. The Whacka-doo's said they were increasing their protein and dairy consumption by eating lots of...breaded chicken strips and mozzarella sticks. Oh lord! Their kid is going to come out breaded and fried! Apparently their neighbors have seen her naked. I think they have been eating a lot of beans lately. The husband farted at least 5 times! He wasn't even trying to hold them in and at one point actually lifted up a butt cheek and pushed one out! Brian was dying and could not stop laughing!

Class 10: Nothing interesting came up this week.

Class 11: We both skipped class this week. Sunday afternoon, we came back from a great camping trip at the ocean, but the combination of an uncomfortable bed and Brian and Colby's "Crown and coke filled Friday night booze fest" left both of us exhausted.

Class 12: Hallelujah!!! Whacka-doo's were no shows for the last class!!!!!!! We practiced relaxation techniques and during our fake contractions we held ice to teach us how to mentally block pain and discomfort. We forgot our water bottle this week, so Laura gave us a glass of water to have Brian practice keeping me hydrated during labor...he drank all the water!
