My Favorite "Re-run"

While it is still pretty early, we needed to choose the hospital where I will deliver. We decided to go with Community North. I'm not going to lie, aside from the fact that it is brand-new, has a state of the art NICU, has doctors from Riley available 24/7, is 10 minutes from our house, etc. it was ultimately the bullet-point "a place for mothers to be pampered, the feeling of a luxurious spa and the safety of advanced care" that sold me!

This also meant I would need to find a doctor with privledges at Community North. After doing some research and getting recommendations, we decided to go with Dr. Pratima Stuhldreher at Clearvista Woman's Care (supposedly, her nickname is Pinky which I think just sounds fun!). So, we had our first appointments today. Usually, you have appointments with several different people during your first visit. Unfortunately, Pinky was unavailable so we will meet with her next week. This actually turned out to be a blessing in disguise because by the time we were done we were on information overload! This first visit included another ultrasound, a meeting with the OB educator, a lovely meeting with the insurance specialist (thank GOD I am blessed to have good insurance!), and blood work.

During this visit we got to see Baby Banks on a bigger TV screen and this time he/she was on the move! The nurse is predicting a girl b/c the heart rate was 186. Do you think Josh can handle another girl in the house?!?!
