Massage 101

Baby class was about massage tonight. First, it was a breath of fresh air to have a new person present over the normal nurse. He was funny at first but started to get a little off track a few times with his stories but considering there was a spark of life, change in tone of his voice, and humor, I will take it. He gave us some facts (of course the older couple that have reached the end of the internet knew everything when he asked a question) and then demonstrated the four basic techniques of massage. Then we headed next door for a few minutes of "practice."

Again, if there is a moment when I thought we would get kicked out of baby class, tonight was another night. For those of you that know Ryan and I, we aren't touchy feely. I hate being touched (ticklish and too uptight to know how to relax) and Ryan frankly is too rough for my little twiggy tendons. I would say muscles but I am pretty sure there aren't any. So we started out serious but started laughing and picking on each other half way through. I know from personal experience, that we are not good at massaging each other. I don't know if he will ever take this to heart and practice before or after the baby is born but the shoulder and back area is all that I want to have attention. I don't care about my achilles tendon. Give my shoulders some love!
