Becoming new parents 101


boy o boy, lots of classes we have taken and will attend.
4 x 2.5 hrs Labor & Delivery class
1 x 3 hrs Becoming New Parents class
1 x Breastfeeding class

Sounds like we are trying to get a degree for 1st time Mommy and Daddy. Overall classes are interesting, it's worth to spend the time. Some classes are pretty intense, we gonna do research, presentation, and group discussion serious stuff. Although I get most of the info. from the books I read, it's a good refreshment. Alex finds the classes very informative. I bet he is pretty stoked to find out bb stool can be greenish, yellowish, brownish, extremely watery in which is perfectly normal haha. He has been very concentrated in class and followed through the instruction about diaper changing, swaddling bb in a blanklet, bb bathing... Anson, I bet daddy can't wait to practice the skill on you.

We both really hope things will go well and I'll be giving birth naturally. Statastic shows 70% natural birth vs. 30% c-section in US, I hope I'll be one of the 70%.
We are taking our time to learn and absorb as much as we can. In reality, how much we will remember and will apply to our new born is another story. Haha we might have bb brain by then.
