I think we’re the class clowns
here we are, supposedly the most studious & serious couple when it comes to childbirth, but at lamaze class we can’t stop making jokes & giggling. The teacher certainly gives us plenty to laugh about. While I like her philosophy on childbirth, she is a bit of a scatterbrain. And because of what childbirth entails, she certainly doesn’t hold back when it comes to discussing any topic. And there’s just something about the way she says & does things that is a little off the wall, we can’t help ourselves sometimes.
When practicing our breathing, massage & efflarage, she happened to use one of the women as her example, the hilarious thing was - this girl is extremely ticklish - so much so that any touch at all sets her off. But apparently the teacher didn’t realize this & kept going, making the girl absolutely miserable, Charlie & I couldn’t help cracking up. The teacher also walks around physically demonstrating different techniques & last night when she was explaining back massage & showing Charlie where to put his hands, she grabbed his waist - well it was supposed to be his waist, but let’s just say she got a little too close for comfort. The whole class was laughing at that point - and I think Charlie was beet red, and of course in fun he made a big deal about it, asking where he could file a report! She often finds herself going off on tangents & she’s not always easy to follow. I’m not concerned b/c I think Charlie & I have already learned most everything she’s teaching, but I do wonder about the other couples, if they’re able to follow along okay. Charlie & I just couldn’t stop giggling last night at all the little things that happened - and of course when you’re not supposed to giggle it makes it even harder to stop. It made me feel like we were in highschool again, and it was kinda sweet. Experiencing this pregnancy with Charlie has made me fall in love with him even more, he’s going to make an incredible dad & I just can’t wait to see him holding his son.
