Wednesday on KRDO's "The Extra", host Shannon Brinias was joined by Dr. Aimee Johnson-Wirt with Optum Pediatrics, to discuss preparing for newborns.  Dr. Johnson-Wirt talked about something she terms "The 4^th Trimester", the first three months of a baby's life after birth.  Some of the ways new parents can prepare include: taking prenatal and parenting classes, taking a scheduled tour of the hospital, if possible, put together your basic baby care supplies, pre-register at the hospital to ensure everything is in order, and getting a car seat installed and checked by a professional.  More information at CarSeatsColorado.com.  For more information about Optum visit cosprings.optum.com. To book an appointment with Dr. Aimee Johnson- Wirt for pediatric services contact the Optum pediatrics team at 1-719-522-1134.  Dr. Johnson-Wirt is located at:
