Childbirth class

We just had our childbirth refresher class at the hospital. What a relief to have that over with! They only offer the class on Sunday evenings 5-8, right at dinner and kids' bed times. What are they thinking?

Fortunately we were the only couple in the class. It was supposed to be last weekend but the instructor's flight from somewhere was delayed so we rescheduled it and, because she called us ahead, we were able to talk her into starting it an hour earlier for us.

Still, it was a bit of a hassle to plan Molly's evening at the neighbor's house and prep her for it, then have it rescheduled. So I'm just glad it's over. Molly had a good time playing with Teddy, ate pancakes for dinner and was home in time for bath. We had a really nice time with the instructor, lots of chatting and advice, and we wrapped up in less than two hours, including a visit to the birth rooms.

I haven't taken pictures in a while (I just downloaded what's on the camera and all I have are some shots Molly took of her toys and a couple pictures of her covering her face).

These are from a week ago -- we've had two storms since -- but they give you an idea of how much snow is on the ground.



It's so deep now that if Molly walks along the sidewalk all I can see is the pom-pom on her hat over the snow banks. With temperatures dipping below zero this weekend, we didn't spend much time out there playing. Molly is constantly talking about summer and making plans to go to the beach at the local pond and using my blue yoga mat as a pretend pool. Clearly she's had enough of winter already. I think we all have.
