We got some thank you cards for the Thanksgiving baby shower, and I got some stationery. Both my brothers and both my sisters have e-mail now, and there aren't too many other people I know so well that I'd write a letter. We went to Starbucks for coffee and Fuddruckers for dinner, before heading on to the hospital for our penultimate baby class. Somehow when it's grouped like that, it sounds important. As we were driving to the hospital tonight, it finally occurred to me that we were in for another evening of really basic basics.
Fires go up Over two hours of wisdom.
I'm sure there must have been someone in the room who didn't know these fairly common things, but I wish there was some process where we could have self-selected out of the class. Tonight would have been a nice night to sit by the fireplace and read. Jean is having irregular contractions. She says these are different from what was going on the Saturday after Thanksgiving when we drove back to Richmond. The contractions come and go, and Jean is still in great spirits.
