Fact

Fact: I still get emotional when I drive by Reston Hospital Center. Whether I am just driving by to go to the Town Center or I have a doctor appointment in the building attached to the hospital, there is a feeling that comes over me. It's so weird and unexpected, but yet it happens every time. Right after I had Austin it was really bad and I couldn't even drive by the general area without sobbing tears of joy. I thought it was just my new mom hormones, but it's been 2 months now and I still get overwhelmed with happiness when I look at the windows in the west wing. I don't think I will ever forget the sound of the cart wheels coming down the hallway as the wheeled Austin back and forth from the nursery to my room in the middle of the night. I also don't think I will forget how nice and accommodating the doctors and nurses were to me and my family. Most of all I hope I don't forget how amazing it was to bring my first son into this world. The emotions as I drive by RHC will probably fade over time, but I kind of hope they don't.

  2. I feel the very same way! I always think about all the new mommies that are in the hospital right at that moment meeting their little boys/girls for the first time. Its an awesome bond we all share!
