Our First Prenatal lesson

my hubby and i signed up Thomson Medical Parentcraft, 6 lessons of prenatal course.

a lot of my colleagues told me no need to go and waste $$$, you can read all about what you need to know in books and hearsay...

i contemplated a while cos the distance can be a discouraging factor....

my hubby said since this is our first time as parents, it is good to know more...

so we went.
