Scooter watching The Happiest Baby on the Block video in class (learning the "football hold"). 
The poor rubber baby that endured our practicing of swaddling, diapering and holding. (He looks kinda stoned.)We had our child birthing classes this weekend - whew. It was actually pretty fun and we walked away with a lot of knowledge, plus our instructor was Canadian and entertaining which helped.
Luckily, we also met a couple that lives here in our neighborhood, not even a block from us, due two days before we are, husband works at the same company as Scooter and they are having a boy! Another whew.
Also, I would highly recommend The Happiest Baby on the Block (even before I use it on my own baby) as I've seen it in action with the twins I cared for a few months back. Simply, amazing! We were lucky to receive the book and DVD from a friend - thanks Victoria!

Happiest baby on the block is a must!
Apparently the new swaddling recommendations only go to 2 months, but we swaddled Griffin until he was 6 months old, and it worked like a charm. Of course, as soon as he was old enough to break the swaddle on the blanket we had to move them to something more secure swaddler. Ahhh, sleeping through the night is awesome!
Dear Chica,
Congratulations! Having a baby is a wonderful experience and it is great that you are preparing yourselves ahead of time. Thanks so much for mentioning "The Happiest Baby" DVD and book. They have helped countless babies calm faster and sleep longer! The DVD is the best way for moms, dads and other helpers to learn the 5 S's!
Also, do you know about our "Super-Soothing" Sleep Sounds CD? It has specially engineered white noise that can calm crying babies and – when played all night long - can instantly boost sleep by 1-3 hours. Dr. Karp recommends it to help sleep for at least the first year (it’s so comforting to little kids...like an auditory “teddy bear”). Parents love this CD because it’s super easy to control the volume and wean babies off of (whenever you want), it keeps babies calm on car rides, and helps them sleep when spending the night at grandma’s.
All best wishes,
Suzana
