*urph*
When the youngest was about to be born I got a wristband that more or less matched my wife's.
Had to show that to get wee bugger out of the nursery, and a couple of times security asked to see our bands whilst I was wandering about the horsepistol with him in the snugli.
We left chocolates, doughnuts and coffee for the nurses after 5 days in maternity.
