Last night was crazy....we went to a breastfeeding class... I thought it was going to be totally awkward, but it wasn't too bad...we didn't have to pull out our breasts or anything! I didn't know what to expect!! Haha...
Pat and I went in to the class in a bad mood though because as we were driving up we saw some of the MOST annoying people walking in. They were in our class on Saturday. Seriously.... MOST annoying!! Pat and I were rolling our eyes the entire time. So there is this girl and her mom was signed up for the class with her. It turns out that the baby's father came in from Louisiana so he came too. Is that fair...that the rest of us pay per couple and they get 3 people????? The mom kept making stupid comments the entire time. We walked in and it turned out there was a $10 charge per couple but they had accidentally notified people that it was free. Well as she was taking the money this lady kept saying she would have paid $50 for it....Pat and I were like "can we charge her $51 so she'll leave???" Even the lady the teaches the class obviously wanted her to shut up!! Haha... well hopefully we never have to see them again. Ohh...AND just to give you an idea of how crass these people were... I had to go to the restroom at some point during the class.. there was a single restroom near the conference room but this girl was in there. I tried going to the cafeteria where the big restrooms were but it was locked because it had closed for the night. So I went to wait for the single restroom and I literally waited like 10 minutes outside.... that's not the bad part... I understand if people have problems... but I hurried up and went and somehow beat her back to the conference room...just to hear her announce quite loudly that "her stomach was f*$&ed up!" Wow...really??... keep it to yourself....
Other than the trio of backwards individuals.... the class was really informative. She pretty much just talked for 2 hours about how to get started and the best positions to hold the baby. Now let's see if I can actually do it. I might have some trouble because of the PCOS, but when I asked her she said she would come help us when the baby comes and we'd just have to wait and see how it goes...
Other than that.. Pat and I went to meet with our potential pediatrician today. My friend Kristy recommended her. I wasn't sure if we were going to have to meet with other pediatricians, but after we met with her Pat was like "she's the one!" We both felt really comfortable with her, and she was really easy to talk to. She was super friendly and even though we were just there for a free consultation she never seemed like she was in a rush to finish the conversation or anything. She has 3 kids of her own.. actually 2 of her own and she adopted a little girl from China. I thought that was really neat. She answered all of our questions and she seems like she is going to be great with baby Collin. I also liked that she said she makes it a point to call people back personally, not just have the nurse do it. She also said no matter what that a sick child is always seen either the day you call or the next day. They don't tell you they are all booked up. And she said an infant is ALWAYS seen that day. They even see patients on Saturdays and they have a protocol for Sundays where the doctor will follow up with you and see if it can wait until Monday or if it needs to be addressed immediately. The other thing that I really liked right away was that when I introduced myself and said a friend of mine had referred us, she asked who it was. I figured she would pretend and be nice, but not actually remember who Kristy was since they have so many patients, but she right away knew who she was and started talking about Lexi and asked if I was a teacher also...so she must actually get to know her patients and families well. That makes me feel really comfortable...
Ok well that's all for now... 44 days and counting down...
