Tour Completed!

Jake and I went on the tour of Elmbrook Memorial Today. It was pretty nice. Very quiet and a very easy drive for us to get to. 15 mins, tops. The tour was really nice too. The nurse was very informative -- I just wish that I would have been able to go back in January, because I could have taken advantage of a few more of their services and stuff. With only 8 weeks to go (WOW!), there's not much time to do much else.

They are VERY pro-breastfeeding, which is awesome. The only supplement with regular formula if absolutely necessary and the only time they do paci's is when they circumcise the boys -- they put a little meds on the paci do divert the pain when they do the surgery. The baby can stay in the room with us and so can Jake. The rooms are HUGE!!! Seriously. There's a nice shower in the bathroom and a table and chairs, and a couch for Jake to sleep on.

There's a family waiting area with coffee and stuff for the parents and anyone, for when the doctor is in the room or whatever.

I'm not planning on having anyone else in the room with me and Jake, because I've had enough people looking at my lady business so far. Plus, it's SO gross. Yuck. I'd rather people just come see me after everything is done and I look a little better. And the baby is clean. Not full of gore.

So, I highly recommend Elmbrook Memorial if you're insurance covers it and your doc had privileges at the hospital. :)

I wasn't nervous before we went in and I'm still not nervous. I don't think that I will be. I'm just too laid back about it, I think. I don't know if/when the panic will set in about this. I've just been waiting SO LONG that maybe I will just be cool about everything. Maybe it's not denial, maybe it's just indifference or something.

Working on my closet yesterday. I can feel a battle about the closet set up brewing. Jake thinks it should be one way (as in the way it was) and I don't agree. Try telling him that. Argh!
