No thanks, stirrups are for horses

I'm so happy I'm delivering with a midwife. So happy, happy, happy...

We did the hospital tour tonight and it went really well. The room you stay in after delivery is huge and comfy and they 100% encourage rooming-in with the baby, so that won't be a battle. In fact, the baby never has to leave your sight, which is even better. I did get all freaked out in the delivery room seeing how the bottom part of the bed drops away for the stirrups to come up, and then I remembered that I'll be delivering with a midwife. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I want to be in any position but on that bed with my feet propped up in the air, and these ladies will encourage me to deliver in any way I feel comfortable.

So, that was an exciting evening. And even though they were very full and busy right now, there were only like two babies in the nursery to oogle at; the rest were all staying with their moms :)
