As excited as Drew has been about Sawyer's arrival, we decided to sign her up for the Sibling Class at Saddleback Hospital to reinforce that being a big sister is very important.
Most everyone else brought dolls to practice on but since Mommy had no idea this was part of the class, Drew borrowed a doll from the 2 nurses who ran the class.
They worked on changing diapers....
...swaddling...
and feeding and burping.
We also took a little walking tour to show the kids the type of room that Mommy, Daddy and Baby would be staying in. And we got to walk by the window and see a baby born that morning. Since we saw Lexi Murdent in the hospital only a few weeks prior, this was old news to Drew, but she still loved seeing the baby. At the end of the class, the kids all sang Happy Birthday to their future brothers and sisters and then celebrated with Angel Food Cake. I think we know Drew's favorite part of the class -- although cake did tie with seeing a newborn baby.

What a cute idea! I wish our hospital did that--on the countdown to see Sawyer, wonder if she'll want to come the same day as Evan?!?!
