Ten Hut! Sir, yes Sir, I survived Daddy Boot Camp!
This dads-to-be only class was Thursday night. We got to chat with fathers of 0-6 mo olds about their experiences. Being able to relate to other men about the pregnancy/birth experience was a nice change. Some of the material covered was a repeat of other classes (like how to swaddle a baby) but repetition is good reinforcement.
On Friday Kat and I went in for another checkup. Baby is looking good. She gained about 1/2 pound since the last appointment. She is head-down now. She was grabbing her toes when they took a peek on the ultrasound. The kid is going to be a smarty, she's counting inutero.
Yesterday morning we had our last baby education class, it covered breast feeding. Kat plans to breast feed our baby girl so it is great that there is much support for women who choose to do so. It turns out that babys that eat breast milk have many advantages. Higher IQ, less alergies, less likely to get sick or ear infections etc. The class was well put together and by the end none of the men were giggling every time the instructor said "breast". :)
After class Kat's girlfriends from college had a shower for her at the house. I was able to make my self scarce by taking the dogs for a 3-mile walk and playing in the garage (I installed some boomin' speakers in the new baby-mobile).
To day we are off to another baby shower (yes another) with a different goup of friends. I think this one is coed since both our names are on the invitation. I'm driving seperately just in case!
