Tonight we have our hospital tour and "pre-registration". Kinda curious to see a bit more of the hospital and get our paperwork filled out so that when I'm in the middle of labor and contractions I don't have to worry about filling out stupid paperwork and deal with insurance questions. I made the appointment several months ago, just after I hit 20 weeks and it seemed like SO far away. And now it's here. Craziness. Time really does fly. In a month (or less!) I should be holding my daughter in my arms. I'm anxious to meet her, and get to know her personality and mannerisms etc.
I'm also really curious to see what traits she will get from Austin, and what she will get from me. Being that I was adopted right at birth, it's interesting that people say "oh you look just like your dad" or "you are SO like your mom". Those are all learned traits. Just becuase one isn't blood related doesn't mean they don't learn things from their parents. But I am curious to see if our baby will have small stubby toes like me, or a big nose, or will have Austin's long eyelashes and patient personality.

Where are you delivering? We delivered at Boulder Community Foothills and they were awesome. Such great care and dedication. They worked hard to make sure I was aware of what was happening and the post delivery rooms are nice. The delivery rooms are too! I was unfortunately bedridden because of my feet, but I would have loved to take advantage of some of the cool things they have to offer such as the tubs and the birthing balls. I hope you have a great experience also.
