As we finally finished the grueling 9+ hours of lamaze, let me share some words of wisdom that I have learned from it:
1. 10 cm is big. I mean really big, like bigger than you can imagine.
2. Epidurals are your friend.
3. The hospital really does provide you with your very own ice chips.
4. As well endowed as your partner may think he is, he will not harm the baby or touch her head during intercourse.
5. Pack a bottle of champagne in your hospital bag and pop it open when your water breaks, and then drink it (the champagne, not the broken water).
6. I do not want my husband to touch me or rub my head or talk to me during contractions.
7. My focal point will be a picture of Stewie, my cat.
8. Ernesto is really good at counting to 5, or even 15 for that matter.
9. Ernesto really paid attention during "A Baby Story" and "Birthday" on discovery health channel. He knew the answers to most of the questions, including perineum.
10. It's ok to drink O'Doule's during break at lamaze if the funny guy brings a cooler packed with it, the nurse said so.
And the most important think I learned during lamaze...
You probably will fart really loud during pushing, I know this because one of the girls did this last night, and we finished the night off in hysterics, I know you would have been cracking up if you were there, too!
8 weeks and counting! This little girl is breech, she better turn around!! 7/21/06
