Only because there is so much information about this hospital...
If you plan on visiting anytime after Anabelle is born, be prepared. There is NO free parking on the entire campus. They do not validate either. Prices depend on where you park. The most expensive parking lot is the one right in front. That one is $1 for every half hour, max 2 and a half hours. If you plan on staying for more then two hours, I recommend parking in 'Parking Structure #1'. There is no time limit, and parking is $2/hr., max. $12 a day. The entrance is off Stockton Blvd. before you hit X St.
Before and during the delivery visitors can wait in the Family Waiting Room located in Labor and Delivery. I will be moved to a recovery room where I can have only two visitors at a time, and the visiting hours are from 9 am - 9 pm. Labor and Delivery is on the third floor, and you should use the elevators to the left if you use the main entrance. It's also called the 'Birthing Suites'.
As of right now we are scheduled for our C-section on March 1st at 11:00am. That might change though. During our ultrasound last Thursday the doctor said the flow in the umbilical cord is looking a little high again.. Not sure what that means, but they are going to do another ultrasound on Friday. She said that if it's not where they'd like it, then we will delivery earlier. We had a NST at UCD today. I am sure I will get lost at that hospital at least once. The NST went fine. But the doctor I had made me a little nervous. I think she was a resident. She came in to discuss the NST and if we needed to do anything else. I explained the situation and why I was there and what Anabelle has been (kind of) diagnosed with. When I said 'arthrogryposis', she looked at me and asked me to spell it........really? Wonderful. I even had to explain what it was. Then she went and got the attending, who didn't look more then 5 years older then her. Just makes me a little apprehensive. I hope they read our chart before we deliver!
If we make it to the 1st, only 11 more days!!!
With love,
The Polks
