So, yesterday, Saturday, March 1, we had to attend a CPR and Baby Care Basics class as part of our training hours for our adoption. I don’t think either one of us was excited about taking a whole Saturday for this. We were only one of four couples in the class and everyone was from our adoption agency. It was nice to meet people and see where they are in the adoption process.
Well, the class wasn’t that bad. 🙂 We are now CPR certified for Adult, Child and Infant, and we got lots of information on baby care. We even had a diaper race. We did not win, however, I did help us come from behind and win second, but there was no prize for second. 🙁 We did enjoy the class and learn a lot. We got a whole pile of handouts, coupons, and a free diaper bag. The nurse was pretty excited to give them to us. She said that normally she has to promote breast feeding to pregnant mothers, but since none of us would be breast feeding she could give us more stuff. Some notable items include: a brag book, a bottle and 2 cans of formula, diaper samples, and music CD. The baby bag will of course be something Scott can use. I still have my eye out for something a little more fashionable. 🙂
