I bought a parking pass. Insanely overpriced IMO.

Story: We welcomed our first into the world not too long ago, but with a long labour for my wife, she grew tired and the baby needed to be delivered with the assistance with a vacuum. This ended up resulting in the baby being very stressed, and lots of mucus making it into her stomach and lungs. Our baby couldn't catch her breath and was essentially hyperventilating, her oxygen levels were beginning to slowly fall towards the "safe low" level so she spent her next few nights on CPAP and with an IV helping keep her hydrated and her blood sugar regulated (and whatever else the doctors and nurses needed to do).

During this time, we stayed in the paternal recovery room assigned to us by the hospital, just down the hall from the NICU. We had nurses and doctors checking in on us every 2-3 hours, bringing us food at 8am, 12 noon, and 5pm every day as well.

Everyone is at home now, happy and healthy. Mum is enjoying week 1 of her 16 month Maternity leave, and I've taken a few weeks myself.

Our little pumpkin, on the last night when the doctors said she was stable and let her stay with us in our hospital room.

Your house is definitely the one all the kids on the street can't wait to get to! So awesome, you'll make some kids nights.
