While I was at my appointment today, I noticed a "permission" slip type form at the desk on my way out - I glanced over it as I was waiting for my next appointment to be set up. It said that now that flu season is here, they're limiting the amount of visits for children under 10 to the maternity ward. They're limiting it to ONE visit per child per hospital stay! EEK! If I'm there for 4 days again, Laura can only come see us once!?! That's crazy! The permission slip is so that the parent signs off saying their child is healthy and then the stamp it with the child's name and the date/time of the visit so it's on record once they've used up their one visit.
Should make for some interesting childcare issues the week of delivery - Guess Laura will spend some days a Lynne's (if it's during the week) or with grandma and grandpa on the weekends - or Richie will stay with her, but not be able to be at the hospital.
I guess now I'm hoping that things with breastfeeding this time go smoother than last time and maybe we won't end up staying the full amount of time... we'll see. Oh the joys of being due smack dab in the middle of flu season.

At least she can visit once. The local hospital here recently banned visits by all people under the age of 18 from the maternity ward.
I went home 24 hours after Miles was born. It was much easier the second time around for me and I hope it is for you too!
