Wilson had a great time at his big brother class today at the hospital where I'll be delivering Tyler. He was supposed to bring a baby or stuffed animal so he brought his baby Mac. When we got there he colored a picture that said "I'm the Big Kid". Then he made an art project for Ty. Next he sat on the carpet with the teacher and the other Big Kid's to talk about what it's like for mommy being pregnant and what it will be like when the baby comes home. Then they got a bag of goodies- a surgery mask, hair net, and shoe covers. Wilson was too embarrassed to put these on in his class but he put them on as soon as we got in the Jeep! Next, they learned how to put a diaper on their babies. Last, we went to the baby nursery and saw 3 new babies in their bassinets and then the teacher showed them a recovery room where mommy stays for 2 nights after having the baby. I think this was very beneficial for Wilson because I know he doesn't remember the hospital from when Luke was born. He was only 2 years, 6 days old himself! Plus, he was pumped up by the teacher about how cool it is to be a big brother. He was pretty interested in seeing the stump from the umbilical cords and was able to see one on a baby in the nursery. He said he enjoyed the class and had fun!

Isn't that class the coolest? Meghan and Lily both took the class when I was pregnant with Trey. They had so much fun and we were also fortunate to see babies in the newborn nursery...of course CB does deliver ALOT of babies!
Alyssa, I hadn't checked your blog for awhile so I have been busy reading "way" down....1st, love the photos of Wilson and his classmates! He is paying close attention and doing a great job. Loved the cake and recipe! Hate to hear that you are aching so much...I agree with the others, you will need to teach sitting more than ever and keeping your feet up on anything close to you! You'll make it!!! Won't be long.
