Did you know....?

-Newborns (0-3 months) will cry on average of 3 hours a day? That's 270 hours, or over 11 days straight of crying!!!
-Babies cry more during the first 3 months of their life than they will the rest of their entire life!

Our prenatal class was more fun this week. We had little newborn dolls to greet us when we came in, and we were learning to put on a diaper, bathe it and dress it. We got a boy doll (is that a sign?).

In any case, the nurse told us to put on a diaper without her giving instructions. Michael put it on, and I told him to make sure he didn't cover the bellybutton, since the imaginary umbilical cord was attached. When the nurse came around, she was impressed by our skills. She also complimented the couple next to us, but I think that they overheard what I said! :)

As we covered swaddling, bathing and changing diapers, Michael hijacked the baby and did all of it himself! I did manage to put a hat on when he was occupied by fastening the buttons on an outfit. I even got a compliment from one of the other moms-to-be at how good he was at it!

We also learned about car seats, which is required by law. Those things are pretty complicated! I think that we're going to go to a workshop early next year which the police host so we're assured that the baby's fastened up properly.
