Rooming In

Once I deliver our little guy he will be taken to Texas Children's Hospital. The hospital I deliver at is right next to it and I can walk over there when I feel up for it. I am assuming I will stay in the hospital for at least two days so that I can kind of recover and relax. (I'm not sure how much relaxing I will do.) We have been a little worried about where we would stay when our baby was going through this process. We looked into hotels and the Ronald McDonald House. There are actually 4 Ronald McDonald Houses in Houston. At least one of us has to stay downtown to be with the baby. Our doctor contacted us and said that on the cardiac floor they actually have "room in" accommodations for parents. They want the parent's to be as involved as possible in the care of the baby. They also use this time as a teaching opportunity for parents. We are so thrilled that they will have room for us and that we don't have to leave the hospital. I have heard that taking a few breaks is really needed so I am hoping some of you will want to come meet me for lunch or dinner. Any takers? :-) This is one less thing we have to worry about.
