We made it to the hospital in time for the tour on Sunday. It was a close one though - Saturday night Sean reminded us that because of road closures for a cycling race, we'd be unable to drive our car out of the parking garage. So we found out how to take the metro and the bus and made it there with perfect timing.
We were pleased with the delivery area, although the recovery rooms seem kind of tiny. I can see why people are so anxious to get home. Here's a link to the area so you can see for yourself: http://sibley.org/services/s_noc.tmpl
The best part wasn't even an official part of the tour. We ran into a Labor & Delivery nurse who was available to answer lots of our questions. It was very reassuring to hear how she would handle things.
It was also kind of surreal to actually be in the hospital with these new moms and dads and itty bitty infants, thinking that will be us in 10 weeks!!! WOW!
We pre-registered at the hospital while we were there so it should be much easier when we arrive for the real deal.

That birthing suite looks huge!! I've never given birth in the US or seen other labor/delivery/recovery rooms in US hospitals, but it looks amazing!
