Sibling class?

Has anyone had their LO go to one of these?  Is it worth it or was your LO bored silly?  

I checked Piedmont and they didn't seem to have any at the main campus, but saw New Baby offers one.

When my youngest brother was born, my step-mom and dad had me and my younger brother go to one. I remember being really excited to get a tour of the hospital to see where he was going to be born and the nursery, getting a "big sister" t-shirt, and a few other goodies and books. Of course that was almost 22 years ago and in south GA, so I don't know how the classes are up in Atlanta. My step-mom also involved us in a lot of things to prepare us for another sibling and I think that helped the transition tremendously.

I think it would be awesome for DD to see the hospital and nursery, but it seems they don't have anything for siblings at our hospital. Lame.  I might just do the maternity tour again and see if I can bring her along.

Hmmm that's an interesting idea. I feel like the hospital was completely overwhelming for Gavin. He cried as soon as he saw me... Don't think he even noticed the baby! It was enough that I have considered not letting the kids meet her until we come home.

Ava took it but at Kennestone. I really liked it and she enjoyed it. I liked the "rules" they went over and we review them all the time. The tour was good too! If you can get Mia in one I would!
