CPR for Our Baby and Our Nation

Hi everyone, it's Henry. Many apologies for not being able to post an entry sooner. First of all, let me thank (and remind) you about providing "comments". We love to read them (you can click on "Comment" at the bottom of this and each entry and follow the easy instructions). We will post more of our own comments in response to yours so keep checking back!

OK, let's get started: here's Lorraine going into this week, our 34th...



Tonight, Lorraine and I attended the "Baby Savers" class at the hospital. I learned of a very interesting safety fact that I would have never considered: "Introduce your child to a fireman. Tragically, many child fire deaths occur because children run and hide from firefighters. They are found dead in closets and under beds". Yes, this is an exact quote. In fact, I'm going to stop by the local fire station myself tomorrow just make sure I'm over my own fear. All of the "watch outs" (most of which we haven't addressed yet in our own home) made us feel as if we would be providing a hazardous environment for Lauren that only Indiana Jones could safely navigate through. I'm thinking of wrapping everything we have in bubble wrap. Seriously, this class did teach us an important lesson: how to give CPR to save an infant or child.

Last night (and this morning), our nation received a series of resusitations of its own (click on each to enlarge):

You see? I told you we'd comment more! In case you didn't appreciate how I closed my entry, I hope that political affiliations don't prevent you from coming back to our blog. Mr and Mrs G (Lorraine's Ohio-residing parents), did you get to vote on a machine in Cincinnati that actually worked?

I'm not sure if comments from strangers were really what you were going for, but I stumbled across your blog tonight and got sucked in. It's just...really touching. And well written. Sincerest congratulations. :-)

Henry and lorraine Mrs. g and I went to the polls and the machines did work I got a Coke and a bag of chips out of the machine. I thought that was strange!!!!

Lorraine you are beautiful and we can't wait until little Lauren comes out of her hiding place.

Love,

Dad

Lorraine - Your dad is right...pregnancy does agree with you! You have that "glow".

I have really enjoyed reading about your pregnancy and Henry's sense of humor. I hope that we someday have the opportunity to visit and I get the chance to meet Lauren!

It is nice to see your dad's quick wit...someone needs to keep up with Henry!

Take care -

What's up with posting the results from the recent election? Lol!

Henry, I didn't know you had a fear of firemen?

Btw, I know infant, child and adult cpr. I am redcross certified. However, fyi, I heard that they are changing the method early next year. Time for a refresher!
