Overlake Hospital Birthing Center

Here it is the place where little Sprout will exit the womb and enter our lives forever. Last night we got to tour the birthing facility at Overlake Hospital. Noe and I were very impressed with the staff and the nice homey comfortable suits. This photo is the actual birthing suite where they baby will be born. Each suite has a special birthing bed, Jacuzzi tub, rocking chair, television and CD player. Then after a little bonding and a nap they move us just down the hall to the mommy daddy & baby room. This room looks very similar to the photo above just larger. In these rooms they provide a reclining lounge chair, a table and 2 chairs and a long bench for guests to be comfortable during their stay. They also provide dad with a fold out bed, blankets and pillows so he can stay with us in the room. We will have a large selection of movies and DVDs for our viewing pleasure. Sprout can stay with us in the room at all times. There are two fully stocked kitchens that are available to Noe and I 24 hours a day the entire stay stocked with free food and all we can eat. Noe won't ever have to leave the birthing center to get a snack or a full meal. If he gets hungry during a long labor he can grab a sandwich and be right back at my side in minutes. The birthing center is a level 3 center which means if there are any complications at all we won't have to leave the hospital because they have state of the art equipment and specialists that are on staff if needed in case anything were to go wrong. We are really happy with the Overlake Hospital and are looking forward to meeting our little Sprout for the first time there in May.
