Hospital Tour

On Monday night Andrew and I walked up to the hospital where we plan to deliver for the hospital tour. During our tour L&D was really busy, every room was full, we didn't get to see inside any of the "suites" because every single suite had someone in it, but that was ok with us. We learned about the hospital policies, parking, guests in the delivery room etc. We saw my OB during the tour, I'm sure she had at least one delivery going on if not more. I'm really happy we went with the practice we did, I'm guaranteed my regular OB to delivery the baby, and I like her and trust her a lot.


The only bad news about our hospital is we don't have Internet access on our floor, you have to go down to the lobby. Maybe I can get Andrew to do a blog update for me, but you might have to wait a little for that first blog update after the baby.


Next week we start our two night Child Birth prep class. It's led by a Doula right in the OB's office I go to. The Doula seems really spunky, and I hear the class is entertaining. We are also taking a one night infant care class next week. I'm looking forward to both classes, I have no experience with infants, neither does Andrew. I know we will figure it out, but it will be good to do the classes together. I might sign up for one more class for us, breastfeeding. But I'm going to wait till January.



As I get bigger and bigger and less comfortable standing, Andrew helps around the house more and more. He is so sweet. Every night he does the dishes, and I don't even ask him to! We folded a load of baby laundry last night. Both of us can't believe we are going to have a baby to put in these tiny little cloths and tiny little socks.
















By this week, your baby weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels
