Certified (or Certifiable?)

Last night we received the "official" certificate of completion for our five week childbirth course. Unfortunately, just showing up to the class doesn't mean my labor will go smoothly, but we can rest assured they've prepared us for a lot of the obstacles and emergencies that can happen during child birth. 

Our final class included a tour of the hospital's birth center which was interesting to see. Michael made note of the closest snack bar and unlimited flavored coffee and soda supply they offer to "support people" (while I suck on ice chips). 

Several other couples from our class have due dates around ours so maybe we'll bump into them when our time comes to deliver. It's kinda crazy to think that the next time we're in the birth center we'll be coming home with one more family member.

How exciting! Visiting your birth center - one of your last pregnancy milestones. We ran into a classmate and her newborn baby about a week before Baird was born while I was getting things set up at the pediatrician office. I was so jealous! But Baird arrived eventually, thank goodness! Good thing Mike located the closest snack bar. He'll need his energy too!

Wow...an additional family member. That statement is so strange to think about. I bet it is going to be so exciting carrying him in your arms instead of in your belly.

See you Friday.
