Our food was actually good, but it just came on the standard hospital-issue plastic trays. <BR/><BR/>But man, I could not get enough to eat! I was STARVING after birthing Tom. All during labor I kept begging for a pizza.Goslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00153864420303599725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1150122067698665932006-06-12T09:21:00.000-05:002006-06-12T09:21:00.000-05:00I wish I'd thought of this before Jack was born - ...I wish I'd thought of this before Jack was born - I'm totally going to plan my own next time. I was so jealous of not getting anything good to eat while my family all went out to eat the whole 4 days I was in the hospital - although my mom did go get me whatever I wanted:) Next time I'm going to plana night where the kids are at home with Grandma and Hubby can go pick up take out from somewhere good. I'll have the tablecloth and all that packed and he can just take it home with him at night:) Any leftover dessert can stay with me.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10142994274994642731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1150110107238521842006-06-12T06:01:00.000-05:002006-06-12T06:01:00.000-05:00What a fun tradition! :) Our hospital does no such...What a fun tradition! :) Our hospital does no such thing...but I'm so glad that yours does!Monica Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235919587298518908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1150054707189769142006-06-11T14:38:00.000-05:002006-06-11T14:38:00.000-05:00Wow, I have never seen anything like that!

Now I see what she meant! At the hospital I delivered in, the food was shipped in - pre-cooked - from Toronto. Including the toast.

Maybe start collecting take-out menus now?<BR/><BR/>Ruth, this isn't a luxury hospital, just a small rural one with some nice traditions and a warm, caring staff.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455517419708043340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1149991736814797172006-06-10T21:08:00.000-05:002006-06-10T21:08:00.000-05:00Makes those $47 apiece tylenol a little bit nicer,...Makes those $47 apiece tylenol a little bit nicer, doesn't it?? :) Seriously, that is what our hospital charged me for ONE tylenol. So you do pay for the steak dinner. In our hospital they used to do the same thing but stopped when we had baby #2 & #3, but they did send us home with a little gourmet basket filled with spaghetti sauce & fun shaped pasta. <BR/><BR/>Oh, and our hospital had really YUMMY chocolate chip cookies they gave to all the nursing mama's as a snack.

Two out of three times, when I've delivered -- once at 7 pm and once at 10 pm, there was no food any where to be found. The kitchens had closed for the night and my husband wound up trekking down to the hospital McDonald's and buying food for me. I do know they'd let someone bring in food there though, so maybe I'll have to line something up for myself if my labor goes long again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12364613.post-1149982085552298592006-06-10T18:28:00.000-05:002006-06-10T18:28:00.000-05:00Wow!

What hospital is this?<BR/><BR/>I wonder if a hospital would allow outsiders to come in with something like this for new couples.<BR/><BR/>Our Sunday school class brings meals at home to parents of a new baby. But in the hospital! That's a great idea!MommyLydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15608956553350425075noreply@blogger.com
