Post-Getting-Ready-For-Baby-Class...

I had more confidence going into the class about having a baby than coming out. Naturally, Don felt he knew everything. It was pretty much all was common sense and, if you've read any baby books or articles, you've heard it all before. I think what really got me was the thought of trying to bathe a baby in the first few weeks. And trying to figure out its wants and needs. Don made the comment about the baby not being able to communicate and all it could do was cry. I've heard, on the other hand, that you can tell the difference between the different cries a baby has - if it's hungry, wet, tired... Don's response to that was a question to ask if babies could communicate as well as dogs...

Other funny moments during the class came when the instructor told us to throw away any leftover milk and not to give it to the baby if the baby hasn't drunk from it for 15 minutes. Don asked if that leftover milk could be used in coffee...

Is say if Don wants breastmilk in his coffee, let 'em!
