Yesterday morning
Jack and I went for a hospital tour of the Kaiser women and children’s
department in Roseville. I’d been on the tour before but I wanted Jack to take
it before Clara is born so he knows where everything is already. We got to see
how to drop off the laboring mom, how the guy should check in and get past
security, where triage, labor & delivery, and postpartum areas are, and so
on. It’s a really nice hospital, new and well organized. Jack was impressed
with the size of the labor rooms (as was I when I first saw them).
There were
maybe 10 couples total taking the tour. I noticed Jack was one of the more
physically affectionate of the guys, and I thought that was sweet. He kept rubbing
my tummy or the back of my neck or holding my hand. Asking me if I needed to
sit, and helping push me up when I got up from sitting. He was just a
sweetheart the whole time, and he seemed very excited about the entire thing.
On a related
note, every time we run errands now, when we get home he won’t let me carry anything into the apartment. He grabs
all of the bags (groceries or whatever else) himself even when it’s ridiculous,
and as I’m slowly waddling to the apartment he runs past me laughing
maniacally. He calls me a sucker and says he wins, it’s pretty hilarious.
Walking up stairs 39 weeks pregnant is tricky enough but it’s trickier when you’re
laughing.
