This is important: If she goes into serious labor before the kitchen closes (assuming they don't have a 24 hour cafeteria), tell the nurse to get some of everything on the menu and wrap it up for when she's delivered. She'll be absolutely starving and if they've closed the kitchen...well, I hope you brought a pizza or something.
I had an awesome nurse who ordered me one of everything on the menu as soon as I delivered Hannah (it was about 8am), and also got me a large strawberry milkshake, which was, oddly, not on the menu. It was easily the most fantastic thing I'd ever had and I proceeded to "write in" a large strawberry milkshake for every meal order the entire time I was in the hospital. I don't recommend it as a weight loss strategy, but @#%^ it, you're only in the hospital for two days and it's the last time anyone is going to be waiting on you or be around to help take care of the baby.
Love to the four of you <3

When my best friend had her babies, she was on the PKU diet and miserable the whole time she was pregnant. When she delivered both times, I dutifully brought her whatever she wanted to eat. For the first boy, it was a grilled chicken sandwich and cheesy tater tots from Sonic. The second boy, it was a cheese burger and fries from Steak & Shake.
