Baby Class!

Today was our baby class at the hospital, so we woke up nice and early and got ready to go.  Brandon decided to put the carseat in the car, and I looked over and this is what I saw.
Brandon decided that the carseat shouldn't be empty so Joshua the teddy bear got to go on a car ride! So we all got packed into the car, Joshua and all, and headed off to the hospital.  I looked over at the mountains and saw this!

That's snow on top of my mountain!  I guess thats where all the wintery mix the news has been talking nonstop went to!  We got to the hospital (and were horrible parents and left Joshua in his carseat in the car) and went inside and asked the front desk where the baby class was.  The guy didn't know, so he called the teacher to find out and then he was like umm she wants to talk to you.  So I get on the phone and she says did you sign up for this class?  Yes after a month of waiting for a return call, I did schedule it, and she was like I have a class next Saturday but not one today, but let me see if anyone else was told today too.  I was like great...got told the wrong date, and the printed calender has it wrong..but then like 10 minutes later, she comes downstairs and 2 more couples walk into the front reception area..so we got to have class!  There ended up being 4 couples in the class.  This was our book for the class..
It was an interesting class, it didn't focus to much on labor and delivery, which was my worry since I'll be having Micah by a c-section, I didn't care to go to a class telling me how to breathe.  We watched a video on labor, and it scared Brandon at times.  He was quite grossed out about the placenta!  And then I told him how some people eat it..and that blew him away even more!  But it was nice that they had a video on a c-section birth too.  We learned about what to expect at the hospital and some basics on baby care and breastfeeding.  It was a pretty interesting class, but long.  They provided lunch to us, which I thought their lunch choice was weird.  Doctors say pregnant women shouldn't eat cold cut deli meat, that it needs to be heated to kill off listeria, and so the hospital provided us with Subway sandwiches with cold deli meat.  So I chose not to eat lunch and just waited until class ended a little while later.  We got a hospital tour, but of course the post-partum rooms were full, so I didn't get to see where I would be.  We saw the labor and delivery rooms, and they were really nice, so hopefully they were similiar.
After the class we went by Target, and then headed over to post to pick up my new glasses!! Hope  you like them!...Don't mind the messy hair.
