Baby Dreams

I awoke to a horrible dream! I was in a nurses station at a hospital and they were monitoring my contractions. Of course, I'm not pregnant, nor do I want to be, so I know that it was not a dream about my heart's desire. My daughter, however, is pregnant. She is in her 39th week and would love nothing more, than to have this baby out of her. Now wouldn't be too soon.

I headed out for my first cup of coffee and stopped by her room to let her know about my dream. She surprised me when she said that she had woken up several times throughout the night thinking that she was having the baby. Maybe this will be the day!




She is delivering at a beautiful, newer hospital. Mercy Gilbert Medical Center is a sight to see. It sits among fields near the new Loop 202 at Lindsay Road and Germann Road in Gilbert, Arizona. It can be seen from miles away and is just stunning in the moonlight.




Their Family Birthing Center is state of the art. It has six private labor and delivery rooms, sixteen private couplet care rooms for new families to stay and get to know baby, two cesarean section suites with adjacent recovery room and nursery, and four special care beds in the nursery for infants requiring extra care and support.

We will be spending some time there, very soon. I wonder if today will be the day.
