After a wonderful visit to the new addition of our extended family (who came into the world 5 days early), I remembered that I had shot this in the postpartum room. Not having ever given birth, it never occurred to me that you would need to be reminded to call someone to watch the baby while you go pee or take a much needed shower. I learned that you shouldn't wait until you can't hold it anymore because it takes about 10 minutes for the nurse to show up. But you can call her and ask for her by name since there is a dry erase board next to your bathroom that shows you who your nurse happens to be at that point. Good to know. I feel more prepared now for when it is my turn.
