Hospital Food

Way back when — five years ago — Mike and I wrote the story of how Michaela came to be born. She wasn’t due until January, but my doctor decided to induce on Dec. 10. It had been a long, crazy morning and Mike and I found ourselves at the hospital not having eaten anything, knowing we were in for a long haul (although I don’t think either one of us thought it would take as long as it did; we ended up being in the hospital for nearly a week). We were able to run to the hospital cafeteria for lunch before I was admitted… which is why Michaela and I had lunch there today!

Today’s lunch. Mine and Michaela’s:

The end result of that fateful day. Michaela, not wanting to have her picture taken, at lunch:

Best five years ever.
