Head of the Class

We had our first official parenting class this weekend which was held at the local hospital. This particular class was designed for expectant parents of multiples and was taught by a nurse. The focus was on topics that pertained to the unique challenges involved in the pregnancy and birth of twins.

To be honest, there was not a whole lot of new information that we haven't read in books or online already. I believe the the real benefit of attending that class was to meet and interact with other couples having twins. There were 2 other couples there and a woman who came without her husband. One couple about our age was expecting twin boys about the same time as our girls, so it was fun to share stories, hopes and fears with people going through the same thing we are.

We have a few more classes lined up later on and even a Daddy Boot Camp sponsored by the hospital that looked like fun. Hopefully, we'll be able to build relationships with people we meet along the way.
