Guess what we did after visiting Ryan

BabyLo, after visiting little Ryan, DaddyLo and MummyLo went to hunt for where we should go when it is time for you to come. We went to the Westmead Public Hospital main entrance, looked at all the signs for "birth" and "maternity" trying to find where exactly we should go. It was 9pm then, and everything was closed with no one around. We went up to Level 3, following the signs that said "Birth Unit" and after walking through a long long corridor, it leads to another sign that directs us to "Birth Unit". It seems like a never ending corridor, and MummyLo was joking to DaddyLo that when the time has come for you, I might end up giving birth on the way to walking to the birth unit because it was so far. At the end, we reached a closed door which says that we need to buzz-in to go in. We then walked back to the elevator to get to the "Maternity ward". Again, it was dark and deserted. We saw two ladies, both looking pregnant and waiting at the waiting bay. DaddyLo went out bravely to the ladies and asked them "If my wife water broke, is this the place to go?". They both turned to me with wide eyes. So I quickly turned to them and told them "Oh, I am not ready yet, we are just asking in advance." Those ladies muttered something and said they don't really know. So DaddyLo went into the maternity ward reception and asked the nurse there where we should go when the time comes. So from then on, we did a practice run of where to go when you come. Now hopefully you will come during good working hours so that hospital will still have lights on and people around and we won't be panicking trying to find people.
