Went to the expectant dad class last night. All 25 seats were filled. A local Pediatrician and 2 L&D nurses taught the 2 hr class. It was actually informative.

BTW..I also took advices from a few of you and bought myself a baby bag..

complete with a flask holder.

They kind of look like little clay models. It also REALLY put things into perspective for me. Like I made a baby and there he is... holy crap thats my baby...

It made me even more excited to meet him too

Enjoy! Let us know how it goes

Can't see the pics but the name Mason Rapp sounds like a 007 name or a movie star. "Rapp..Mason Rapp"

total bust!!

Nobody's fault. The baby was breached, had it's arms in front of it's face and it was up against the placenta. We caught a glimse of it's mouth and nose in the 230 min session but nothing worth taking a picture of. The wife moved around several times, drank a lot of cold water and got up and down from the table s few times. No luck in getting the baby to move. The sono tech asked us to come back next week at no extra charge so that's cool. My dad came up form Tucson to see it though. Kind of disappointing but oh well. My neighbor told me a few days ago that he had the same thing happen. That place was going to charge him though to come back.

We had that problem too when he was still in the womb. It almost looked like he was trying to suck his thumb. It's tough to get a good view of 'em though because they are cramped up in such a small space. And don't worry about a thing. It's all about the suspense.

Oh and I forgot to mention that it is sooooooooo well worth it

Now I need to upload some pics of "the beast" or at least that's what my fiance' calls him

Scary time last night.. mikaela seemed to have maybe stepped on a toy then fall towards her rocking chair and bit her lip.. hurt so damn much she cried to the point of not breathing then passed out.. we got her to come to inabout a second, big gasp of air n she was fine again.. scariest moment of my life..
