So being the former stage manager that I am, we have already preregistered for when Monkey shows up. We'll be delivering (let's hope) at Abbot Northwestern hospital about 3.5 miles from our home. At my last check up they gave me this preregistration sheet to fill in and send in. Pretty standard stuff except the last question made me laugh:
What would you like staff to call you?
Which made me think of my wonderful father. A few Christmases ago he went in to have a stent put in to open up an artery. They had given him some of the happy meds and the nurse walked in to take him down to the OR. She asked him this same question: Hello Mr. Terlizzi, what would you like me to call you? My dad's response: You can call me Mr. Handsome. To which she responded: "OK, Mike."
I just listed 'Ann'.

Now you know why they ask you before you get there-a woman in labor may not be so funny/polite/cute.....
