Baby Class

On Wednesday night, we attended an introductory baby class. The class advertised that it would show us about child safety, how to swaddle a baby, and how to give the new baby a bath. We did learn those things. But the instructor initially focused on 45 minute-long slideshow I'd like to call: "Be Prepared: Your Baby Will Look Gross And There's Nothing You Can Do About It." Slide after slide of puffy faces, oblong heads, red or purplish or cheesy skin, slime, blotches, zits, etc.

They didn't say anything about whether barf bags are available in the delivery room. I'm kidding, as nasty as the baby may look sliding out of the womb, I'm sure (once they clean him/her up) I won't be able to put him/her down. Less than two months and counting.
