Prenatal class

Last night, Randy and I went to our prenatal class - it was our second visit. They showed us a few videos and one of them was a birth video. I've watched a ton of birth videos and I've always find them fascinating, so it doesn't bother me one bit. I don't have cable and I don't know about you but I absolutely love watching the birthing stories on TV whenever I can get a sneak at other people's cable TV. :o)

Well, last night, it was a completely different experience for me, I had tears running down my face.....the girl that was given birth in that video - I KNOW HER very well!! It was not the birthing itself that bother me, it was watching her groan in pain, being extremely uncomfortable. Since I know her, I just totally connected with her emotionally. I basically just felt for her and bawled. It was just a weird experience watching someone you know give birth, I never thought I would ever come across that. The other couples in the class probably thought I was crazy, they probably thought I'm so petrified about giving birth and thought "oh, that girl is not going to make it." :o) Anyway, I know some of you will know who this girl is, especially Mike & Beckie. Her name is Rachel (Lee) Bates. :o)
