As we greet the spirit of change that is brought on by the crisp fall weather Greg and I have found ourselves enjoying many new changes in our own lives. Greg and I have both been recently introduced to the new Sacred Heart Hospital, RiverBend, which is a beautiful facility that feels more like a Marriott hotel than a hospital. Greg will assume the title of 'Family Breadwinner' as he starts his new position in the Emergency Department at RiverBend this week. Last week I began my clinicals on the Mother Baby floor at RiverBend, where I am getting a sneak peak into what's to come.
Meanwhile, the bump has officially graduated to a belly over the past month. At 28 weeks everything is going swimmingly. Greg and I met with our midwife on Monday at the PeaceHealth Nurse Midwifery Birth Center. There is a team of five midwives; we will meet with them all over the course of our prenatal care and one of them will be there throughout the delivery. They also have a certified lactation specialist on staff that will visit us every week when the baby is born.
The birth center space is very comfortable and homey, it's actually in a house. There are two birthing rooms, a kitchen and a bath with a claw foot tub on the second floor and a prenatal visit room downstairs complete with an ultrasound. For those of you whose ears perk up at the word 'ultrasound', yes, we are getting an ultrasound. We will get our first glimpse of our little enigma tomorrow morning and will share that with all of you as soon as possible!
