We’ve been here for almost two weeks, and here are a few funny observations:

  • The number one, most overwhelming observation is erotic voice with which the elevator announces your floor. I wish I was kidding about this. EVERYONE notices it. And, it’s not the same voice used in the elevators of other buildings in the hospital. What’s the deal? "Third flooooor…."
  • They do have free wireless, but it’s roughly dial-up speed. It’s the reason you don’t see more photos, because I can’t get them uploaded! You also have to call every day and get a new access code. I’m going to enjoy doing that every day for the next two to three months…
  • You have to pay a dollar for parking, no matter how long you’re going to be here. Can someone please explain the ethics of asking people to pay for parking when trying to have a baby, or getting someone to the emergency room?
  • Showerhead
    The shower head has AMAZING water pressure. Unfortunately, the shower head doesn’t have any where to connect! It just hangs there! Strangely, there is a pole that you THINK it would connect to, but it doesn’t. Thankfully, I’ve managed to rig something up to provide a nice shower experience. Note- actual shower head not pictured.
  • And then you have to dry off. And you have to do with a towel the side of a large kitchen towel. Again, I WISH I was kidding about this.
  • There’s a big fridge right across from our room that we can keep stuff in, as well as a small one in our room. VERY handy.
  • We’re here for so long that we bought a small shelving unit and assembled it yesterday. Pics coming soon…
  • Kelly wants everyone to know that fluorescent lights give you headaches.
  • Kelly also thought we were being too negative and wanted to point out that the nursing staff is very nice and sweet.
  • They let you choose your meals from a menu everyday, and when they bring you chicken ceasar salad they never bring you ceasar dressing. Isn’t it just a chicken salad then?

Overall, it’s been a great experience, considering the circumstances. And made MUCH MUCH easier by all of your prayers…
