So this is what I look like at 22 weeks. I can still wear all of my tops but have resorted to wearing maternity pants and shorts. As you can tell, M is growing.
We have started getting her room ready. We hired a contractor to come in to do wainscoting, crown molding, and paint her room. Everything should be all finished by tomorrow. Next, we are going to started getting her furniture ordered. My goal is to have her room ready for her at least one month before she arrives.
On Mother's day, Chase and I went to take a tour of the Texas Children's Hospital- Pavilion for Women in the medical center. It is a brand new facility that just opened it's doors in March of this year. After the tour we were so impressed and excited to be delivering there. They are very focused on comfort, security, and keeping a family environment. The spacious rooms are incredible. All of the rooms are the same and include a wall of windows, 24 hour room service, and large flat screen TVs. One thing that they do differently from other hospitals, and something that I really value, is that M will never leave my our side the entire time we are at the hospital. From the time she is delivered to the time we leave, she will be with us in whatever room we are in. She will have her own area in our room that will have all the equipment she will need. We will have one nurse for both me and her while we are there, which cuts down on stress and lack of communication. I am very confident that this is going to be a great, low stress experience for Myself, Chase and M.
