Mommy and Daddy's minds at ease

Today we got to tour the maternity care center at St Johns Hospital.  The easiest way to sum up how I felt walking out of the hospital...

ah....

It was awesome.  They just finished (on Friday) a year long remodel.  They did a GREAT job! The colors, rooms, everything was fabulous. 

Some of the highlights I really like:

• Large rooms with lot's of windows to let in the sunshine
• "Spa like" bathroom
• sleeper sofa for Daddy
• All new equipment including a new hightech monitor so I won't be hooked up to any cords and wires while walking around the maternity care center, etc.
• Two family pantry's on the ward - stocked with water, soda, juice, snacks. 
• Kitchenette provided with fridge, freezer, and microwave for family and friends to use while waiting for baby to arrive
• mini fridge in our room for snacks and drinks.
• Afternoon tea time  for Mommy with cookies and scones brought to our room.
• Oshi Bori (a form of integrative therapy - aromatherapy)

Having the opportunity to see the delivery rooms and ask questions has given us  a lot of peace. After we left we sat down outside to rest (for Jeff's poor knee) and talked about how everything had exceeded our expectations and how we're so happy we got to tour the maternity care center.
