We attended our (first of six) baby class sessions yesterday. There is no doubt this class will be worth every penny; I just pray my classmates don't ruin it!Week One Observations
- The teacher nods her head more times per minute than Dwight Schrute's bobble head doll.
- Class Attendance = 10 couples
- 8 out of 10 couples know the sex of their baby
- Over 50% were born or raised outside of the MN border
- Two couples having kids out-of-wedlock
- Three couples having the same "due date" (same as us!)
- This is the first child for everyone except one guy
- Ages = either very early 20's or mid, mid-late 30's
- Dads = rather annoying
- Moms = more annoying
- Chairs = above par
- Discussion/Material = Thorough, informative
- Relaxation Period = Free snuggle time!
- Constantly Thinking = Please, no segregated group discussions!
- Goal = Feb 15th, 6:30pm

"Dad", I am so pleased to see you believe this class will be worth every penny!!! (Although, your goal is the last class session...)
Other points of interest/corrections according to mom:
* "expected date" = due date
* Relaxation has more purpose than "free snuggle time" - dads are supposed to be learning how to help us relax when in labor!
* Our facilitator had a knitted model of a uterus (with snap-on birth canal!)...it had a fake baby inside and also a stuffed homemade placenta complete with umbilical cord that attached to the baby!!! I was really amused by this.
* "Dad's" face was SO FUNNY during class - very bad faces related to anything medical or bloody...how is he going to make it through the delivery?
Overall, a very good and accurate recap.
Father B never fails to make me laugh! This time especially for the Dwight Schrute photo, of course.
I am also amused by the knitted uterus model, WTF.
