I was greatly relieved last night to look around at the other couples in our childbirth class and realize I was not the only one squirming when the video we were watching began to show babies' heads emerging from their mothers. What surprised me was that I didn't squirm for long. Once those babies' bodies began emerging and different body parts became recognizable, the whole childbirth experience seemed a lot more exciting than anxiety-ridden. (I've been more preoccupied with the latter emotion for much of my pregnancy.) So now the question is whether or not Andrew and I will decide to document Gabriel's entrance into the world with pictures - since video cameras are not allowed. Hmm. I felt okay watching other people give birth, but will I really want to see myself do it?
Don't worry, faithful readers. I won't be blogging those particular pictures even if we do decide to take them.
