During our birthing class, the nurse told us multiple times to make sure I eat BEFORE going to the hospital. Once I get there, I really won't be allowed to eat. Of course, she said to make sure to bring plenty of snacks for Aaron...so not fair that I have to watch him eat. But maybe labor will go fast and I won't be starving...yeah, right :)
Anyhow, we've heard it from multiple people. Eat, eat, eat once labor starts. Stop on the way to the hospital and grab something, etc. Two of Aaron's coworkers recently had babies and were giving him advice yesterday. Food came up yet again which got me thinking, where will my last meal be?
Now, I don't mean where are Aaron and I going together as our last night out just the two of us. We already have that one planned this weekend. We're doing it up in style at Roast in downtown Detroit. I'm talking, I need to get something quick when I'm in labor.
Labor can start at any time, so what place is open 24 hours that I love? None other than the golden arches. And what would I eat every time I go there except that it's the HIGHEST calorie meal on the menu (I'm pretty sure, I haven't actually verified)? A BIG MAC meal. Two patties, special sauce, and cheese...I can just hear the jingle. And my mouth is watering. They say that labor is one of the toughest, longest, highest calorie burning workout of your life. So I think I deserve the right to eat a Big Mac and fry from McDonald's :)
Is it wrong that I'm actually excited because I really want a Big Mac? Let's just hope I can actually stomach food at that point. If not, I'll make it my celebratory meal AFTER the baby is born :) Good thing McDonald's is just steps away from the hospital.
