June 11, 2011

In yesterday's 3 PM post, I mentioned commotion in the hallway and the nursery across from our room. I forgot to mention what all that was.

When we went on the lap around the 4th floor, we noticed that in the nursery across from us, a TV crew had setup shop, and was preparing to do something, at the time we did not know what. When we finished our lap, our nurse, Rita; one of the saints we have met here, informs us that the Director of the Northside Women's Center is filming a PSA in conjunction with The March of Dimes about not delivering babies before 39 weeks without medical necessity.

SIDEBAR ALERT
I didn't know that people would intentionally, without medical reason, induce delivery of a baby that had not gone full term. But, apparently, that is not so uncommon, and Northside is in agreement with the MoD, that is not a practice they promote.

Back on topic...sorry...anyway, the Director was filming this PSA in a nursery not being used at the time, and they wanted to have 3 babies in the background, and Rita asked if we wanted Anniston to be involved...we figured, why not. We dressed her up, wrapped her in a pink polka dotted receiving blanket, and let her be a part of it.

The commercials will air in July, on Channel 2 locally, and we will receive a copy of the PSA. It was kinda fun, and a good cause if you ask me.

This is the whole setup, the pink arrow points to Anniston, she behaved the whole time!
