We went on a tour of the maternity ward at the hospital yesterday. The, um, same hospital that we live across the street from and where I go to school. I have been there before for school when we went to the nursery to prod the newborns. There weren't any babies in the nursery yesterday because apparently people want their babies with them nowadays.
It was nice to hear where to go and what to expect though. All the rooms are private and have jacuzzis and metal bars and exercise balls for labor. They also have cassette players that don't take CDs. It didn't even occur to me to ask about this, but someone else asked if they could bring CD players. The tour guide said officially no, but she's seen it happen. I think we're going to be doubly subversive and bring the iPod stereo. I asked about internet access and the tour guide just blinked at me for a while. But it is okay to use cell phones in your own room, so if those of you with Blackberries (ahem, Annie) donate them to the cause Aaron can post updates from the hospital.
There was a large part of the slideshow devoted to informing us about the valet parking service, a steal at $7.50. We can't afford not to leave our car there! In fact, it's there right now.
