Daniel Freeman Hospital

That's where we are delivering since my insurance from the old company sucks and we apparently don't have a choice. So we went for a hospital visit. It's located in Inglewood. To my shocking surprise, took us exactly an hour from Westwood, through the 405 traffic, to get there. I am so worried that we are going to get stuck in traffic when I am in Labor....
The second shock was the people at the hospital visit. I am used to a variety of ethnic groups wherever I am. Ok, maybe not a big variety; mostly white, asian, and some latinos. But when I got to the conference room where the meeting was held for the hospital tour, I saw that 95% of the people there were black. Basically, there was me and pat, the "asian couple", and a pair of white couple, and rest were all black. Pat was sitting across from me and later told me that I looked very uncomfortable. I guess I had not been around so many black people before. Pat seemed like he was totally enjoying himself with all these crazy jokes (actually, they may have been serious but sounded so rediculously funny), and side comments they were making.
Anyway, I was uncomfortable throughout the tour. The hospital was old but everything was clean and looked pretty much like all the other labor rooms I've seen.
After giving this some thought, I came to realize that it will be OK. These black people were so funny and so laid back about what's about to happen to us all. This group of people contrasts so much from the group we see at our Lamaze Class in Santa Monica. We'll just have a funny story to tell Terran later on.
