Tonight is “info night” for prospective parents at one of the hospitals in the town near where we live. We had been planning on checking it out tonight, but instead we are having a quiet night on the couch. The mommy to be hasn’t been feeling 100% today and I have had an extremely stressful start to the week.
It all started last night when just when I was about to leave the office, the phone rang. The long awaited announcement would come imminently – nobody leave. With the markets closed there was not much to do instead of waiting around for two hours until the phone rang. Nope, not announcement time – but a “teaser” until the announcement came – full action as of the next morning. To make a long story short, full action finally began when I get home from the office and continued all day today – I’m tired!
But I digress, here is our excuse for not going – hey they have another info night in two weeks, and there is still 4 months left until the baby arrives. Plenty of time to chose a place. Personally, I would prefer it if she had the baby at the “other” hospital in town, mostly out of sentimental reasons. I was born at the “other” hospital and as fate would have it, after moving around the world for my entire life we accidentally ended up living 3 miles from there.
Both hospitals are equally good in their services but a lot more goes into a birthing place than the quality of care – so we’ll just have to go visit these places finally – if these short term schedule changes would just stop.
