While not particularly note-worthy or blog-worthy, weeks 3 and 4 of pre-natal classes were pretty informative. I did manage to anger the public health nurse (or at least, that’s the vibe that I got) during week 3 when I was able to answer another pregger’s question about the APGAR test when she was unable to. FYI: it stands for Appearance, Pulse, Grimace, Active and Respiration. I’ll take Pre-Natal Acronyms for $1,000 please, Alex.
Week 4 (last night) was all about breastfeeding. The high school me would have lost his mind when faced with all of the partial nudity, awkward doll demonstrations and obvious propaganda. Shockingly, the 30 year-old me was more concerned about getting this shit right because dammit – it saves a ton of money (plus health benefits, yadda yadda yadda)…
Today I again heard the baby's fuzzy heartbeat through the static at Terri’s now bi-weekly medical appointment. Everything is going well. Mom is doing great. Dad is feeling good. The grandparents-to-be are ready to explode with anticipation And at least one Grandma-to-be has taken to her pre-requisite jam and jelly making duties. Awesome.
Note - written during my lunch break. Ha.

hey aaron. don't ask me why i'm reading your blog, but there you go.
so the apgar score was something that was put together by an obstetrician named dr. viriginia apgar. the pnemonic is a little aide-memoire that was devised later by some frantic medical student with too much to remember.
good luck with the baby.
paul.
I got through high school by creating and memorizing acronyms. Funny how engineering doesn't really work that way...
Did you find your keys yet?
