The instructor, Holly, spent the entire time just talking really quickly and running through things. Meanwhile, I'm trying to get comfortable in these HORRIBLE chairs and it's easily 90 degrees in the room. I had to come home and take a shower because I was sweating so badly. Derek was definitely miserable, and most of the other dads were borderline asleep.
When I asked a question about storage, she acted like I was an idiot for asking anything, or at least that's how I felt. She just gave me this weird look and was like, "Uh..." I felt retarded! Either way, that's over. I figure I'll have to figure it out in the hospital. Some positive points about the class:
1) She confirmed that the Medela pump is the best - YES!
2) We saw animations of how to properly latch
3) We learned that in the first hour after Stella's birth, it's best for her to just lay on my chest until she's ready to latch
4) We learned that pumping and a bottle shouldn't be used until about 4 weeks, but a bottle should be introduced around 4-6 weeks so she doesn't reject it later at daycare
Overall, I think it was good, but I really wish she had a better personality and the room hadn't been sweltering.
I had said that was our last class, but I was mistaken. I was checking out our Church's website, and I called and arranged our baptism class. It's scheduled for March 12, and it's only 2 hours long. We wanted to get the class in before she gets here since it may be difficult to attend after she arrives. We also want to be sure we get her baptized soon, and we're currently thinking maybe May, but most likely, June or July.
Anyway, I need to get to bed! I have to go to the dentist at 7am in the morning because today I was chewing gum, and all of a sudden, SNAP! my tooth cracks. It was a molar, so you can't see how hideous it is, but it is uncomfortable. I was wondering if it happened because of pregnancy - like I'm low on calcium or something. Not cool. :(
Either way, I'm tired and my tooth sucks, so goodnight, everyone.
