Tour Pre-baby

As the hours tick away, we have started to do all those last minute detail items like tour the hospital. Both doctors and nurses have recommended this, as they have seen how crazy folks can get in the moment. They say it also helps calm both parents down with it not being a totally foreign place, room, and schedule.

INOVA Fairfax did a great job of literally walking us through the process, and even calmly explaining if something happens at each stage this is where your baby may go and this is where mommy may go, etc. I think both of us got something out of the tour even if it was just knowing which elevators to use.

Here is the virtual tour - they did a good job to make it feel less like a hospital, but still have all the key features of a great hospital -- http://www.inova.org/upload/docs/Healthcare%20Services/Women%20Services/IFH/ifh-maternity-tour.pdf
