"Daddy Class"
So, I attended my first and only Daddy Only class this past week and man did I learn a lot. It was fun to sit around with other first time dads to ask and answer questions. We talked about everything from breast feeding, crying babies, the man-cave (sweet room for men to relax in during birth), SIDS, immunizations, up and down times, what to give Landen to help when he is crying, and much, much more. I found out that babies will lose a little weight after pregnancy because milk intake is very limited. I also found out that hand-sanitizer has been proven to be more effective than washing hands with soap and water. I learned that the hospital is open from 10-2 at night to sneak away and get food (that is great to know). I discovered that some white-nosies such as static from bad FM radio stations can calm a baby to sleep. Supposedly crying peeks at 4-6 weeks so I have a little time to prep before then. And surprisingly a newborn only needs changed once on day 1, twice on day 2, and so on until the are 6 days old. Lastly, I found out that diapers are roughly $80 a month with formula being $125 a month, unless pumping (only $35). You can guess what I am shooting for!!!!! Well, after the meeting I have been energized and I am incredibly anxious for Landen to join our family on the outside. I love you buddy and I can't wait till your in my arms!!!!!
