Prenatal Class - Week 2

So we had our class again on Monday and I am now freaking out. We had to watch a birthing video that showed 4 different births. After watching the first birth and seeing EVERYTHING, I was panicking. I turned to Austin and said, "I don't want to do this anymore!" We have a couple in our class that is hearing impaired and have to have an interpreter. She was sitting up front by the screen and said to all of us, "You should see what all of you look like. Your eyes are all huge!" I'm sure we all had the deer in the headlights look. It was a little disturbing to watch being this close to having to go through it. We also learned about epidurals from the anesthesiologist and went on a tour of the Labor and Delivery floor as well as the Mother/Baby floor to see the different rooms. I am really nervous now, but I know that it is going to happen regardless.
I am excited for this little person to come into our home and be apart of our family. I often find myself wondering what she looks like and who she looks like. I wonder what traits she'll get from me and what she'll get from Austin. I hope she gets his dimple! I love dimples. Austin wants her to have my green eyes. I keep picturing her with dark hair when she is born. I had black hair at birth, but it fell out and came in very blonde.
Austin had very blonde hair as a baby and then it went dark. My mom thinks she is going to be a toehead. But whatever she looks like, I'm sure she'll be beautiful!
