classes

tomorrow we have our first class in preparation for this baby. we have a breastfeeding class from 10-12:30, and i'm pretty sure that joe would HAPPILY give up his spot in the class if anyone would like to go in his place. i hope that the class is helpful, but i've heard that a class on breastfeeding isn't all that helpful. i kinda wish this class was something i could take WITH my baby, like before i leave the hospital. i know there will be lactation consultants and nurses in the hospital to help, but seems like for something like this, the more hands on the better. and then next weekend we have our all day, crash course on childbirth. we were going to take that class spread over 6 weeknights, but they cancelled the first one we signed up for, and the only other one offered before our due date conflicted with a Bengals home game. THE NERVE! so we opted for the all day version. we'll see how that goes. i'm sure we'll leave that class looking like deer caught in headlights. which i imagine is the same way we will look when we head back to the hospital when it's time to actually go through childbirth.

That's great. If anything, the classes are fun. I am not sure I really was a better or less sane mother because I took them, but I got some new information from them. Plus it's fun to be in a room full of expecting moms and dads.
Definately take advantage of the lactation consultant. Even if you don't think you need to, I would strongly suggest talking to her after your daughter is born.
Hope you are feeling well!!!
