The Final Prenatal Class

We had our final prenatal class last night - apparently we are now ready & qualified to have a baby...how crazy is that!

Anyway, the class sure didn't disappoint! Right off the bat we started discussing different diapering options (disposables, one/two piece washables, old school cloth, and the use of a diaper service, etc). Our instructor was just getting into telling us that there is a HUGE market for used cloth/reusable diapers when one of the guys piped up and said "isn't that like me selling my old ginch on eBay? Kind of sick!" We were laughing pretty hard at that point, but the instructors response brought us to tears...all she had to say is that babies are generally really clean and "babies don't have any diseases to worry about like some adults may have." Not sure what she was trying to say about the guy that asked the question, but we think we have a pretty good idea!

The rest of the class had us changing diapers, bathing dolls and reviewing baby safety. We are glad we attended the classes - if anything is was great entertainment for two hours every Wednesday night!

Um yeah... throw the 'qualifications' out the window now & get ready for just about anything :) Regardless of how much you know... the baby will come out one way or another :) All the best!!! Congrats on completing the course - definitely great entertainment!

This is just the beginning of the "entertainment". Soon you'll have it nightly ... for real ... for 18 years (at least). Even when they get big like ours sometimes you just have to laugh at all the craziness.
