Bradley Method Classes to Begin

Upon the recomendation of John and Claire, Karen and I have decided to take child birth classes centered around the Bradley Method. What attracts us to this method over the typical Lamaze classes, is that they seem to center on education, and the "what to expect" aspect, rather than just the breathing and relaxing through labor. (At least from what I understand about Lamaze). I have also heard that the Bradley Method is very much centered around the parents as a couple, and involves the father, like I feel he should be. I have attended every single one of Karen's Dr. Appointments to date, and enjoy being involved in the whole process. Heck, I'd even carry the baby for a while if I could :).

We are going to attend classes with the same teacher that John and Claire used, just a few miles up the road from our house in fact. Classes start on Monday, March 29th, and run for a total of 12 sessions, ending either June 7 or 14, depending on what we decide to do about Memorial Day. When I talked to Rhonda, she informed me that we would be taking the class with one other couple, but that number could grow between now and then.

I'm excited to be nearing the end and seeing what all of this interesting stuff will produce. Only 104 days left until her due date on July 2. (Not that I'm counting).
