I was hoping to get to class a bit early tonight so that I could chit chat with some of the couples before class started, but I ended up falling asleep on the couch after dinner and waking up in just enough time to get dress and race to class.
Dennard was meeting me at class tonight, so I didn't have anyone watching the clock for me.
In anycase, I got to class only 5mins late (fewfh) to find Dennard and one other couple in the class. lol Everyone was running a bit late tonight I guess.
Unfortunately, two couples didn't end up showing tonight, so we didn't have our regular full class.
Tonight the main focus of the class was bringing the baby home and baby care. Ie. How the baby will look after birth, how to properly secure the baby seat in the car, how to wash and care for the baby, what to look out for, etc.
Class ended 1/2 hour early; however, our instructor set up a few stations for us to practice diaper changing, bathing the baby, etc. Dennard and I ended up chatting with the other couples as oppose to trying out the various stations, lol; however, I believe that we will have plentttttty of hands on experience learning and doing what was set up at the stations once the baby arrives.
Before everyone left, I asked our instructor to take a picture of the group for my memory book and blog. Here is a picture of our class :-) (minus two couples)
We became close with the couple in the yellow shirt and the couple in the purple dress. We shared a lot of laughs together over the last 7 weeks :-) I exchanged contact information with the girl in the yellow shirt; her name is Alicia. I found out tonight she is a photographer!! We are thinking about hiring her to do our baby pics once Little Sweets arrives. I saw a few of the pics she has taken of babies, couples, etc. and they were beautiful!!!! I told her she can come over one afternoon with her baby once he/she is born and we can exchange stories.
She is due July 25th-10 days after Little Sweets :-)
Anyhow, tonight was a sad night for me. As mentioned a few times in earlier posts, I have really enjoyed these classes.Now that these classes are over, it's just another reality that pregnancy is coming to a fast end. However, on the positive, it's just another reality that my precious one will soon be here!!!! Hurray!!!!
I will forever look back and remember these classes with fond memories. Memories and laughs Dennard and I will forever be able to reflect and look back on :-)
A special email from 'daddy'
Today I received a special email from 'daddy' at work today. It read "I can't wait to hold my beautiful child". Daddy is just as excited and anxious to meet Little Sweets as I am. I have a feeling we will be fighting over who can hold the baby next, who will rock him/her to sleep, etc.!!!! LOL
Dennard without question will be a very hands on and involved dad. I just know that by seeing how he is with me and how he talks about the baby. He has already started banking time at work so that he can take off a week of work when the baby is born and a few days every month until Christmas to spend with me and the baby. He has even booked two weeks off at Christmas so we can spend some more time as a family. He said "I don't want to miss anything in our child's life and development. I want to be there to witness it too!!".
He is going to be an incredible daddy to Little Sweets!! xox
