Chrissy is making a miraculous recovery for someone who just...

Chrissy and I went to Lamaze classes this weekend at Community Hospital in Munster. We took the weekend crash course that was eight hours on Saturday and five hours on Sunday. Two very long days. But we brought our own pillows from home and were relatively comfy. It was very interesting though, and we learned a lot. Surprisingly,...
