Prep Course

We just finished a marathon session of prenatal classes including:
− Breastfeeding
− Surviving the First Few Months With A New Baby: Basic Baby Care
− Infant Child CPR
− Childbirth Preparation: Integrated Methods

We also took a Birth Center Tour/Orientation of UCSF where Mindy will be delivering via C-section. You can do the same thing by taking a "virtual tour” here to check out the hospital, the OR, the hospital rooms, etc. Click here to start the virtual tour.

Going to these classes was like going back to school – 3 hours of class a night, after work when you’re starving and tired and had battled rush hour to get there, and then dinner at 10pm. Rinse and repeat.

In the end, the classes were informative and worth the time. We still don’t know what we don’t know. But we do know what a baby looks like now, how to hold one at least 3 different ways, and confirmed that cloth diapers are a pain the ass to deal with (sorry Environment).

Unfortunately, Stella got so much nap time while we were gone at night that she started waking up at 4:30am needing to go for a walk. Must be some divine cosmic plan to prep us for what’s coming.
