We had our birthing class today. It was a marathon session of eight hours. The time ended up going faster than expected for both of us. No gross pictures (I think I might be getting use to all of it finally) and a lot of valuable information for both Heather and I. We took a tour of the hospital to familiarize ourselves for when the big day comes. I have to say that we are very lucky to be able to have our baby at such a great facility with so many great doctors and nurses. We found out today that there is one nurse for each woman in active labor. Another great thing is that the room you "check" into is also the room you deliver in. If for any reason there needs to be any surgery, the OR is literally right around the corner. There is a pull-out couch for the partner, shower and even a hot tub for the mother to be more comfortable. This philosophy statement sums up the class today.

Next class is CPR/First Aid. Play around on the "Where Jonathon will be born" link and see all about the hospital.
