CHRISTMAS MARKETS

On Monday we decided to go to some Christmas Markets with our friends Sara and Robert. We started off the day going to Dortmund Germany and then after we where done there we went on to Essen Germany. Christmas Markets are so much fun to go to. They have items from all over for you to purchase and you can always find something that you want. They also have a wonderful variety of foods for you to try out...sometimes foods from around the world. Every Christmas Market has a giant Christmas tree. Although what was neat about the one in Dortmund is that they make is out of hundreds of small trees. Which is really neat since it is usually just one giant tree. It was a wonderful day...although by the end of the day everyone is always exhausted...especially us two pregnant woman.

As in other news...we had another Childbirth Class last night. This time the class was about the different things that might happen while you are in delivery and the risks involved with each. Such as using the vacuum, forceps, ripping...getting cut and having to have a c-section. They then also talked about caring for a newborn and your own post-partum care. All in all the class was a good one...but we say that about all of them. We honestly are not learning very many new things...the classes tend to be a review from the things that we already have learned. We have noticed that lots of people are very nervous about their labor and delivery...which makes me feel weird because honestly neither of us are worried at all...as of now. So we will see what happens.
