On Thursday evening, we went on a tour of the new UCSF Mission Bay Hospital.  It just opened in February of this year and it would be where I will be delivering Peanut.  I got this picture from their website since the room we were in was stuffed with at least 12 couples that night.  It’s the Labor and Delivery Room.  Not too shabby!  The hospital is also a mile away from home.  That’ll be perfect for when KK wants to come visit with my mom.

This is me on Friday with one of my co-workers, MaryAnn, who is due 10 days before me.  She is also having a boy and had her last day of maternity leave and mine is coming up pretty soon.

So far, I’ve been feeling ok but the demands of work are really taking a toll on my body lately.  I’ve forced myself to take the elevator instead of the stairs and try to take it easy when I can but sometimes I just can’t. I emailed my nurse practitioner for some advice and because I’ve been having so many Braxton-Hicks contractions throughout the day, she recommended that I end work a week early.  That means my last day may be this coming Friday.  Yikes!
