Childbirth Classes - Done!

Nearly ten weeks later, we are done with childbirth classes.

We have been taking classes in the Bradley method, also known as "Husband coached natural childbirth." The goal of the Bradley method is unmedicated childbirth, and encourages this by teaching the husband how to be an active participant in the birth process.

New Car (mostly)


So we broke down and purchased a new car (2004 Honda Odyssey) a few weeks ago. Melissa was having a difficult time getting in and our of our Saturn (it's fairly low to the ground), and with the baby coming, we wanted something a bit larger in the first place. It (almost, but not quite) seems a bit extravagant that we're expecting our first child at the end of May, and now have a car that will seat seven, but we talked to quite a few friends about the convenience of a mini-van and we were really sold on it.
