GREAT NEWS!

After finding out a few months back that Kaiser had put an age restriction on visitors, due to the swine flu outbreak, I was so incredibly sad to have to accept the fact that Sophia would not be able to be a part of this long anticipated day! I almost cried the moment I found out I would have to leave my sweet little girl for three days while I sat in the hospital with the newest little member of our family. I stressed over it for quite some time, and then finally began to accept the fact that I couldn't change it and I knew she was going to be well taken care of by both grandparents, and I could see her the moment we left the hospital. Well.... GREAT news! I called the labor and delivery department yesterday because I had heard that they also had a limited number of visitors that you could have in your room at one time and I wanted to get all the facts straight. They told me that there is indeed only a certain amount of people (5 including the spouse) that can be in the room to visit at one time, but what I didn't expect to hear was that Sophia can now come up to the room to see us! I was so thrilled when I heard this! It is so important to me that Sophia be a part of this whole experience and get to see her little sister or brother in the hospital right after I deliver. I had planned on making her a "Big Sister" shirt no matter what, but now I'm so excited because she can actually wear it up to the hospital to come see her little sister or brother! Here's how it turned out:) I can't believe it's only a week away!!!
