Soon we will meet face to face

Yesterday was our last ultrasound with the baby. Ultrasounds are nice, but all you see is a vague image of the real thing. We try to imagine what the little guy will look like in the flesh, but it's hard to see that based on the black and white ultrasound picture. All we know is that he's growing (2 pounds and 10 ounces now!) and it's getting cramped in his little dwelling place. Can't believe that we will soon be able to see him face to face! We went on a labor and delivery tour at the hospital yesterday. The hospital is not our favorite place and the rooms were so sterile and cold that it was more depressing and made us more nervous about the labor. They told us where to park and check in and showed us the labor/delivery room as well as the recovery room after delivering. The good thing about this hospital is that they have doula volunteers that go around while you're in labor to help out the parents. It was a struggle not to switch our hospital to March Birch (rated one of the best in the nation), but because we love the doctor so much, who will not be delivery our child since it's based on who's on call that day, we decided to stick it out anyway for the sake of keeping great UCSD doctors.
