[blparent] bells, was Re-Introducing Myself

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

Jo Elizabeth and list, 
What do these classes from Hadley teach that that you couldn't learn by
other sources? What about them makes them "blindness specific"?.

I can vouch for the quality of the courses.  The first one taught me a
lot 
about what to expect from my pregnancy and the birth experience, and the

second one was about baby care and growth and development at different 
stages in the first year.  My only regret was that I didn't take the
second 
course sooner, since it would have been most helpful to know a lot of
the 
material before Sarah was born.  There's a third course on toddlers and 
preschoolers, which I intend to take as soon as I get a bit of free
time.  I 
would encourage any new moms or dads to look into the Hadley courses.
