Could be better
I thought everything looked so great for our hospital and birth ... then Amanda told me about what a conversation she had with a friend at work.
Man, that's not fair.
During our baby class on Saturday, the instructor told us we'd get "room service" while Amanda stayed in the hospital for a little while, and she encourage the mothers to order food for the fathers as well. Great, I thought. I'll be exhausted; Amanda will be exhausted ... nothing helps deal with that better than someone else handling the cooking and dishes.
But Amanda's coworker told her about her experience: She and her husband got a steak and lobster "romantic dinner" in the hospital the day after the baby was born.
A steak and lobster dinner!?!? I don't care if it is "hospital food," that's still something.
Oh well, I guess I'll have to be content with having a newborn baby around.

I am 25 weeks pregnant and will deliver at Virtua Voorhees. I've heard of the "steak and lobster" dinner for the parents as well...my cousin got it at a hospital in Philly. We're scheduled for the one-day prepared childbirth class on 1/28/05. From your post, I'm guessing we can order meals for the dad as well there?
While at the one-day class last week, the instructor told us to make sure to order food for the dad while we're in the hospital after giving birth. She explained that she didn't do that when she first had kids, and her husband ended up eating all the food off her plate, leaving the exhausted mom still hungry.
