Baby Brother?

Well...we went in to check on baby brother yesterday and we're still waiting. I am 3 cm dilated, but that really means nothing at this point. I had a couple of routine tests done, but no ultrasound. We go back next Thursday for another regular check up and hopefully schedule an induction date. It is looking more like the week of October 8 will be his debut.

Patrick and I were able to take a tour of the hospital unit where I will deliver. Since we had Drew in KC at a wonderful, small, community hospital, we were determined to find a small setting here as well. I did the best I could with the physicians on our insurance and we are at a smaller community branch of a larger hospital chain, but there are still many more rooms and many more babies born here than we experienced last time. But the good news is that the whole unit was redone about 2 years ago so it's all nice and new. I think everything will be great - the nurses all seemed quite nice and the rooms were very comfortable. I told the baby about it...it didn't seem to phase him!
