Antaenatal Class

I know I mentioned that I was attending Antaenatal Class but did I say that my instructor is the famous Mrs. BB Wong? Well, she is famous because she has been invited on TV Shows, radios and been asked to give talks. Her credentials cannot fit into an A4 paper.

After attending 4 sessions of her class, I think that she is really experienced and really knows her stuff very well. She will also tell you exactly what you need to do and what not.....would not even go by the textbook if she feels that it is not beneficial or is not relevant for Singaporean mothers. Truly, she also has to be very passionate about her work to be in this line for sooooo long and to be constantly upgrade herself on this matter. From her stories, I really do not think that she is planning to retire anytime soon.

I am really glad that we end up taking her class even though I was considering not to go for Antaenatal Class as I was not sure it was beneficial. But I learnt quite a fair bit the last few sessions and RH learnt plenty more.

Yesterday, we learnt how to take care of newborns. Bathing, soothing, changing diapers and how to carry babies. Each couple was given a baby doll complete with diapers, mittens and vests. The husbands were asked to use the dolls as practice on how to carry the babies an change them. It was kinda cute to see all the husbands carrying baby dolls and trying to treat them like real life babies. RH looks absolutely cute and serious. Wished I had taken a picture of him with the baby doll. I think that it got kinda real for him for a while. Even after the demonstration, he was busy practising again and again how to carry the baby doll. It was so endearing to see that.

Here are some pictures of the class and of me holding the baby doll. There was only one baby boy doll in the whole class for some reason and bingo, we got the ONLY boy baby in class.

PS: I am seriously considering setting up a separate blog for Bakong now. I think it would be fun and less cluttered for people who wants to follow up on his milestones. What do you think? Give me your feedback.
