Baby Update


Troy and I finally got approved for the hospital that we will go to when the little one comes. Yes, in Norway we have to fill out paperwork and choose three hospitals that we would like to deliver the baby and then we have to get approved. You might not even get your top choice depending on availability. Funny how things work over here. I wonder how they tell when a baby is going to come when 1) you don't have a set due date and 2) doesn't the baby come when he/she (really God) wants too!!! The hospital is UllevÄl Hospital. It is actually the biggest hospital in Norway and one of the best. We are very lucky to have gotten this hospital.

The hospital also has a hotel attached that mother stays at for a few days after delivery. The hotel cost is covered for the mother, baby and next of kin. It is called the Post-Natal Department at the hotel.

We also got our ultrasound date, October 21st. Not only will we see the baby for the first time but we will also be able to tell if it is a girl or boy; so it will a big day for us. I just wish it was closer to the date!!! Starting to feel much better, however I still have my moments.
