Hospital Tour and Doctor Visit

We toured the maternity area of our chosen hospital on Tuesday. It was fantastic. Friendly staff, great rooms, and lots of fun stories. Dondi especially liked hearing how long first labors usually last (average, according to the labor/delivery nurse giving the tour is 18 hours). Dondi figures 18 hours means she can watch six movies (there is an in-room TV/VCR). I bet Dondi would go for a Lethal Weapon marathon....

We were impressed with the nursery, the labor and postpartum rooms, the attention to detail and the security measures they have in place.

Dondi also had a doctor's appointment today where they did her glucose screening test. The nurse said if we hadn't heard anything by Monday, that means she's good. If there's a problem (and she has to go in for the three-hour test), we'll probably know by tomorrow.

It is nice to have a great hospital. My first labor was 17 hours...so here's hoping to an equally long labor (and an easy one) for you :) Of course, the second one was MUCH shorter. LOL
