Weekend Hospital Visit

Dave and I stopped in at the Open House of the new hospital where I am registered to deliver. They are opening up to the public next week and had an open house to show the public the services they'll be providing as well as give tours. We got a great parking spot and walked towards the big tent with a crowd of people. There weren't signs anywhere so I forced poor Dave to "ask directions". We found out they were serving free lunch so I jumped in line for that. After about 20 minutes of waiting, we got some grub and sat with a group of old folks. I swear, I have never seen so many old people in all my life. It was like an elderly convention! After lunch, we ducked through the lines to pick out packets, brochures, and freebies for the things we were interested in (child birth classes, OB services, Pediatrics, etc.). Then we snuck into the front of the line where the tours were starting. The tours were expected to take about 45 minutes and all Dave and I were interested was the OB department. So...after we got through the doors, we jumped between tour guides to find the maternity ward. We walked through the waiting room, through the triage room, and were stopped by a few volunteers who offered to give us a personal tour. So cool! They took us to see the L&D room, as well as the postpartum rooms and the spa room! Then we got to see the nursery and relaxation room (dim lights with a waterfall for laboring moms). It was so zen-like!! The staff and rooms were so amazing, Dave and I left the tour feeling so excited that our little guy will be born there. Then to top it off, as we were driving home, I was reading about the amenities they offer in the postpartum "suites": huge flat-panel TVs, DVD players, pull out couches, AND mini refrigerators. We're stoked!
