tour, dreams, and another snow day!

We had our tour of the labour and delivery wing of the hospital last night! It was very nice to be able to have a concrete mental picture of exactly what to expect when baby G arrives. I think we both felt more excited and more prepared afterward.

I dreamed last night that baby G had arrived, and it was a boy! My dream began at Frenchy's with a friend of mine, and we were looking at a Snugli. Then all of a sudden, the baby was in my arms. Then I started to realize that he had just been born, and I had given Adam carte blanche to name him, and Adam called him Stuart. He was very cute, but I also realized that he was less than 24 hours old, and I had him with me, out in public at Frenchy's. Also, I realized that at the hospital, they hadn't told me how much he weighed when he was born, they hadn't shown me how to change his diaper, or anything else I needed to know. This was because there were too many people in the hospital, so they just shipped me out as soon as I had given birth to him. I asked a lady who worked at Frenchy's if she had any diapers I could use (I didn't have a diaper bag or any diapers with me) and the diapers that baby G needed (according to the hospital people) were actually rubber bands. Pretty absorbent, eh? Strange dreams! I think I dreamed about them sending me home so quickly last night because the hospital is full, and they're using beds everywhere. So we were warned that we might be in a room with an elderly pneumonia patient when we're there to have our babies. They also said that May / June are much less likely than February to be months when there are lots of people there with infections and so forth. Anyway, I thought that was quite the dream!

And lastly, it's another snow day! I'm losing count... I think this is number 6. I dropped Adam off at work, picked up some much-needed groceries, and just finished cleaning up the pantry shelves. So many things get done when I'm not at work! I'm hoping to complete something crafty this afternoon. A crafty nap, perhaps?
