Hospital Tour

Andrew and I were one of about twenty families that attended a tour of the labor and delivery floor @ Albany Medical Center. It gave us a better idea of what to expect when it is "go time", where to come in, where to park the car, where the vending machines are located and what is and isn't allowed in the delivery rooms. We were able to see one of the possible rooms I will be giving birth in as well as the postpartum rooms for after delivery. AMC encourages the infant to be in the room with his parents as much as possible to promote bonding. Andrew also was able to check out the chair/sleeper he will probably put to use at some point during my stay there. It pretty much was screaming "stiff neck and awful back pain!!!"
We left the hospital with more info than we arrived with; much like when we arrive to welcome our little man into this world, we will be leaving AMC with MUCH more than we arrived with.
