Last Great Beginnings Class

This week was my last week of the Great Beginnings new moms class at Isis Maternity. This class was awesome, as was our instructor Nancy Holtzman. She is like a vault of knowledge on baby care (she is a nurse), breastfeeding (she's also a certified lactation consultant), and how to calm, entertain and stimulate babies (somehow she just knows all those good tricks).

The best thing about the class was meeting other moms who are in the same boat. The women in the class are amazing and powerful women with 'kindred spirts' and I'm proud to know them. It's great to have another avenue (motherhood) thru which to make friends, it sort of opens up a whole new social circle because you realize you need to find supportive people who know what the current joys and challenges are in your life. I think we will stay in touch (we already have some tentative plans for exercize dates etc) and it will be great as our babies grow older for them to play together.

Here are some photos from our last class.

Baby Circle - Starting with Abby and going clockwise we have, Abby, Lucy, Jane, Zeke, Meredith, Oliver, and the Bruiser Thomas. I think Thomas is trying to make a move on Abby and hold her hand.



Abby is reaching for the sky :-)
