Come for the birth, stay for the food

Eric and I did the California Pacific Medical Center birthing facilities tour the other night to check out one of our three options for a hospital delivery in San Francisco.

If I were to write a brief synopsis of what was covered on the hour long tour, it would be something like this:

There are three doors you can come in; once in the building go check in with OB reception
Here are the elevators.
Here is the second floor where all the births happen. And what you can really look forward to is your farewell meal. It really is delicious.
Here's one of the labor and delivery rooms. Only 7 of them have jacuzzi tubs but they all have showers and a cot for your husband.
Here's a postpartum recovery room. This is where you spend a day or two recovering and this is where they serve you your special meal before you leave. They offer a really nice steak which is really quite tasty.
You can have a lactation consultant stop by to help you start breastfeeding.
Oh look - there's one of the food carts now. It is so great - you get a menu to order from while you are here. The food is very good.
We started a Halloween party for NICU graduates in 1967 and this year over 500 people came to it.
I'm not supposed to give you recommendations for pediatricians but I will. Talk to me after the tour.
This one woman who was on the tour last week had her baby here seven years ago and she's going to have her second one here in a few months. She came on the tour and she asked me "Do they still have they great steak dinner before you go home?" Some things have changed in seven years but not that. I guess that was what she was most looking forward to about coming back.
I hope you all enjoyed the tour. Good luck with your upcoming births and enjoy the food!
