Yesterday, we signed up for an array of courses that will teach us about everything that can go wrong when you bring your new baby home. I’m still not sure if it’s a great idea to take all these classes, but they must have something useful to say if they can charge you $95 and talk for 12 hours about “building confidence in yourself and your partner”. Here’s the full summary:
4-Week Childbirth Preparation Series
Build confidence in yourself and your partner as you prepare for the birth of your baby. Learn the relaxation and breathing skills for childbirth. Ask questions and work closely with our certified childbirth educators.
(if you would like to learn more, visit the 2006 Class Schedule (pdf document).
One of the classes used to be called “Daddy Boot Camp”, and is now retitled the “New Dads Class”. Sarah figures I don’t need to take that one because have enough experience, and will likely learn what I need to in our 12-hour preparation series (relaxing and breathing and all that). I sure hope I have a good memory, cause the last baby I spent significant time caring for was my little sister, Amy, and she’s 16 years old!
This little guy might not talk as much as I do (or have the excessive amount of frilling material that buffooned from every pore of being – compliments of my stylin’ mama) , but I hope I gave you a good enough run for your money that this little dude won’t be too much trouble.
I think you will both do just fine. Love GG
