a few tIMES a month and we’d
talk about things to do for a healthy preg-
nancy and a healthy baby.
What else?
Wow! There’s so muchto learn. Like eating
right, giving birth, andfeeding the baby. I was
scared but I alwayshad her support.
When I wasready, she helped
me figure out how togo back to school
and get a job.

If you decide tojoin the program, I’ll
be your nurse.
Kim thinks about gettingher own Personal nurse.

finally, SHE decides to sign up and...
So, where isthe baby going
to sleep?Well, I thoughtmaybe she couldsleep with me...
I don’t think so,Kim. I read the bookYolanda gave us.
And the booksays the baby
should have herown crib—that’s
the safest.
But you can keep itright next to your bed so
the baby is close by.
