Monday Sean and I went on a tour of the maternity floor at the hospital where we are going to deliver. It seems really nice there. All of the rooms are private rooms and the nurses that we met along the way were all really nice and helpful. Our tour guide kept making sure we were standing by the nursery if she had anything to talk about for a long time that didn't require us to be in a specific room (registration, visitation rules, etc.) so that we could look at all the tiny babies. I think many of the guys in the group were more excited to see the little ones than all us moms were. All the moms were listening intently while the guys were oohhing and ahhhing. The nurses in the nursery kept bringing little babies up to the windows for us to see. They were all so adorable and made me want to be able to hold Lily that much more.
Seeing all the little ones and being on the maternity floor made me realize just how soon we are going to have our little girl. I know I have the constant reminder of her with her little kicks, and all the baby stuff filling up our house, but this really made it seem real. In a couple months we will be going into the hospital just the two of us and coming out a family of 3. (Or 4 if you count Selene!). While our house is piling up with stuff, there is still so much to get.
Mom and I went to a consignment sale recently and I was able to get a lot of stuff. Many of the things off my registry for a fraction of the price. There was so much stuff there that it was slightly overwhelming. I'm sure I could have found more, but I was starting to get tired and didn't want to end up buying things that I would later regret just because I was not thinking clearly.
So evidently I look huge. Everyone keeps telling me how much weight I have gained (as if I didn't notice on my own) and that they think either I'm carrying twins and one was just hiding or that I am actually due sooner than what my doctor tells me. I figure that since my doctor isn't worried about any of these things than neither am I. I do have another appointment on Monday with her so hopefully she will still not be worried. I will post pictures probably after this weekend when we take more.
I know this post has gotten really long, but there is one last thing. I just wanted to say congrats to some friends of ours that had their twin boys on Monday. While they were born early they both seem to be doing great (and mom looks wonderful). I am very happy for their family of two becoming a family of four.
