Sibling Class

On Saturday, we took Aubrey to a Sibling Class at the hospital. I really wanted her to see the hospital, so she'll have some idea of where she'll be coming to visit Cooper and I in a few weeks. It was a neat class. The children got to practice holding a baby.


And they sent them home with a little hat and diaper to put on their babies at home and stickers and a book to color.

At the end of the class, they brought us upstairs to take a tour of the maternity ward. We got to visit a labor and delivery room (actually the L&D room we spent 18 hours in and Aubrey was almost born in) as well as a postpartum room. Aubrey checked everything out in the rooms.

We also walked by the nursery and got to see some of the babies.


The highlight of the visit was when Aubrey got to put her hand prints on the wall. The hospital walls in the maternity ward are filled with hand prints of the siblings of the babies born there.
