Katy and Josh attended a birthing and parenting class this weekend at Southdale hospital. It was a very good class that covered from the start of labor to birth to possible medical procedures to caring for your baby after birth. The down side is that I missed my weekend dog park visit, althought I did get a little squirrel chasing time and almost got one of the buggers...... I digress..... but I think this was a good class for them.
I think most new parents have some anxiety about becoming parents and this was a good way to give Josh and Katy a preview of possibilities of what is to come for them over the upcoming months. They are feeling pretty good about being ready for everything, are anxious for baby Retkas arrival, yet have days where they are a little nervous :) They'll probably be reaching out to all of you experienced parents to chat about things in the upcoming weeks.
They will also be thinking about what their preferences and plans for for when baby arrives and after. They'll be reaching to discuss that as well, as they want all of you to share in our experience, plus may need some help with a few things.....like taking me on a trip to the dog park :)
Please keep Katy and baby Retka in your prayers over the upcoming months !
Josh and Katy
