Birthing Class #1

The basics of labor and preparing to go to the hospital.

First we will start with a little history.

Andrew is currently trying to sell my Jeep,(know anyone looking for a 2004 jeep wrangler?) because of this he does not want to fill the tank for fear that he will end up selling it with a full tank of gas and will have wasted 50$ (I know, heaven forbid right?). So for the past month the most he will put in is 20$ which means I am basically always driving around on empty. I HATE going to the gas station and think it is the mans job to fill the car, it is really annoying that we have to stop at the gas station every few days.
What does this have to do with the first birthing class? I will tell you.
The instructor was going through the list of things to pack and have prepared prior to going to the hospital. The first thing on her list was to make sure that your car ALWAYS has more than half a tank of gas in it, because the last thing your laboring wife will want is to stop at the gas station on the way to the hospital.
I immediately looked at Andrew and he sunk a little lower in his seat and we both just started cracking up(Good thing we were in the back of the class).

When I go into labor this is the conversation I picture us having:
Me:Grab my bags I will get in the Jeep.
Me:Cries out in exasperation No! the Jeep has no gas! I told you to keep it filled!!
Him: Someone was coming to look at it I didn't want to sell him a car with a full tank of gas
Me: Fine we will take the truck. You will have to help me up into it since there is no step and I am in no condition to be hoisting myself into a lifted F350.
Him: Absolutely not are we taking my truck. What if we get stuck and you have the baby in it! Gross. I know! you can ride in the truck bed!
Me:Uh no. Not happening.

And after all of that I am convinced that I will be showing up to the hospital on the back of Andrew's Motorcycle.
