Preparing for the baby

Just finished my antenatal class, this week basically is preparing for my new baby & labour, reading other's birth stories, and reviewing the labour process in What to Expect When You're Expecting, chatted with some friends, we all agree that this is really a good book, I'm planning to get their second book too for my baby's 1st year.

Have also signed up for the Plunket PEPE course, "Your New Baby", after ringing several nearby plunkets with answering machine, I finally found a number that can go directly to the one who's responsible for the course, it's 09 849 5609 (also need to leave a message, but they reply quite promptly) and also for the car seat if you don't want to get an answering machine, the number is 09 623 8357.
