Parenthood for Dummies
posted January 27, 2004
I wrote two more silly intros for this entry, but the truth is we are really excited: We’re having a baby, and it’s due at the beginning of March. Today we went to a class where the fathers were invited to join, and I learned how to — and how not to — bathe and change a baby. I also tried on the pregnancy simulator sandbag smock. The little handbook I’m carrying is the “boshi techo”, a guide and appointment book for pregnancy and early childhood development issued by the health services department of the city.
Email me for the other silly intros.
