Anti Natal

Okay, I know they spell it antenatal, the anti Natal is a reference to the Super 14 Rugby competition that is starting in a few short weeks. Got so many mates and my wife, who support the Sharks from Natal. It always makes for interesting Stormers vs Sharks clashes. And this year, it is a home game which I will be watching from our box at Newlands...
Hold on, perhaps I should check the dates... 5 May... Spud will be about a month old! Can you believe that. He'll be able to watch his first Stormers whipping the Sharks butts rugby match. I wonder if I am going to be allowed to watch it??

We went for our first antenatal class last night. Very interesting, and I recommend that if you do ever conceive a child that you go to these classes. My sister is dead against them and said lots of horrible things, so I was kinda in two minds before going.
We didn't get off to the most auspicous start as we watched the most bizarre video of Active Birthing. These Europeans are crazy. I think the thing that scared me the most was that the gardner hadn't trimmed the bushes for waaay too long! (can I say that?)
Other than the ladder climbing, rope hanging, weird postion lying video, the general conversation was great and extremely informative. There are some things about brith and pregnancy that people just don't tell you. Well, we started to find out about some of them.

C has actually come away feeling really positive as well. That was really important and a bit of a relief for me.
Me on the other hand... well, I'm happy cos the midwife said we could bring beer for half time next week!!

Something cute for today... Spud had hiccups on the way to antenatal. It is so funny. little jerks and shakes as h hiccups away. i tried scaring him, but C said that wasn't too funny... I was just trying to help...
