August 29, 2010 - Baby & Me Class

We signed Zoey for a Baby & Me class at Northside Hospital where she was born and where the new baby will also be born.  This is a class for big brothers and big sisters to learn some basics about babies in general and to get a chance to check out where mommy will be when she is having the baby.

The teacher, Ms. Sue, started with some classroom activities.  All the little kids (all girls in this particular class) got a chance to introduce themselves and tell what they knew about their new sibling.  We were the only family that didn't know what they were having!  Ms. Sue showed the girls how to hold a baby, using a doll, and to support the neck.  How to change a diaper and fold up the soiled one for the trash ... Zoey did great with this so I am hoping for a great helper in the upcoming weeks.  They also learned how to swaddle the baby.

After the classroom activities, we took a short tour of the hospital.  We went by the nursery and luckily there were some babies for the girls to ooohh and aaahh over.  Then we got to see an empty room like one that the mom's will stay in.  Josh & I lingered in the hall since we already delivered at this hospital.  Zoey cam out all excited for me because I will be able to eat in bed.  How cool is that?  She asked me.
