Maternity Tour

J and I went on our maternity tour of the hospital tonight! It was so much fun and so much information. The hospital is really nice and all the rooms are private which is fantastic. They don't have a well baby nursery so the baby is with you in your room 95% of the time, which I personally love. The hospital policy is also to have the baby cleaned up and handed back to you as soon as possible so the baby can breastfeed which is also something I personally love.

The only thing I don't like is that there can only be 4 people visiting you at a time. My family is huge and complicated and lets just say I have more than 4 parents (not including J's). It's going to be a little complicated with visitors but they can all figure that out when the time comes. And while I might not like the policy now, I can see why it is the policy and I may be thankful for it when I actually have the baby. They changed their policy about the age of children that can visit too. Used to be only kids 12 and older could visit unless they were a sibling of the new baby but now kids of any age are welcome to visit. Makes things much easier for friends and family with kids to visit in the hospital.

So needless to say I'm very excited to deliver there and can NOT wait to meet Petri:) Heres a picture of the mother and baby room. Granted they show the largest room available which they said they try to reserve for MoM's (for obvious reasons) but even the much smaller room we were in was still pretty nice:)
