Matt and I had our hospital tour today of Little Company. We met in a conference room where the tour guide shared a ton of important info and then put on a little video to watch about what your hospital stay/ birthing experience will be like. It really wasn't that graphic at all, but when they started talking about the logistics of the epidural, I thought I was going to pass out. I told Matt I was all sweaty, my ears were plugging up and I was getting really dizzy. We walked out of the room while I stumbled into a few things on the way. The tour guide was outside and immediately ordered a nurse to bring me a wheel chair. After a few minutes of being outside the room, I felt completely fine again, just like normal. But because of liability reasons they made me stay in the wheel chair for the whole tour. How embarrassing! (and kind of funny too. I was happy to have my camera to document this event.) I've never thought of myself as squeamish, needles don't really bother me, but maybe I am...How am I going to get through the videos they show at the birthing classes??? Hopefully I've gotten it out of my system.

so maybe I'm a little squeamish...

oh no!!! that is pretty funny they made you stay in the wheelchair the whole time.
We did our hospital tour this weekend too!! No videos for us though. :) Joel and I are taking Bradley method birthing classes and some of the videos in there have been a little intense! Hang in there!!
Ahhh... hospitals and their wheelchairs! I thought it was pretty funny getting wheeled out at the end of the stay! :) I think it is great that you are worried about making it through the birthing class videos, but not the actual birth! :) :) At least when they are sticking you with the epidural needle you can't see it at all and you really don't feel it, plus you feel so amazing afterwards that it is all worth it! :) Oh, and where is your most recent prego pic? I want to see your growing belly!!! :)
cute! I know exactly where that picture was taken! Glad you're going to have your baby girl at THE best hospital EVER! =P
