midwife visit today, and the handing-over of the birth plan

so i'm finally handing over a birth plan to my midwives today for review. should be interesting... i'm hoping to get their input on some things.

the hospital tour went really well. it was very informative and really helped our confidence level with the process -- the staff was great, friendly, and very willing to answer our questions in an honest but amusing way, which i really appreciated. the birthing rooms at methodist are quite nice (well, for birthing rooms). they try really hard to make them homey and welcoming, with traditional-wood-faced furniture that hides all the equipment and such. they're quite large too. not that i need all that much room, but it's nice to know that i can walk around and not feel cooped-up or claustrophobic.

the maternity nurses were great and the nursery looks sweet and welcoming. methodist is also very "pro-baby", so they're good about encouraging breast feeding, rooming-in, etc. it's nice to know i won't have to fight for any of that.

wow. only 6 weeks. panic is starting to set in...
