About 14 years ago when we had a class, it was put on by the hospital. Part of their service and to drum up business.
yes, we did too, one class and I don’t recall paying for it. and mine was 27 years ago. xsteen and her hub are signed up for 3 diff ones I think, one is infant CPR or something. It’s mostly for the benefit of my SIL who has zero baby experience, xsteen feels equipped to deal with anything without a class.
He shouldn’t worry so much. It’s mostly women’s work anyway. ;-)
Oh he’s not worried, but she would like him to at least be competent.
OK, so the pope’s a lib...
OK, so is this better: Rudy G would be about the least intolerable democrat president I could imagine.
