Not a video, but here's an interview with her. If you scroll down a bit, she talks about how she pumped for 11 months on the set.

This episode made me want to cry, it was soo sweet. And the baby kept crying and my boobs were filling up!

As for the cover, I think that was strictly for the "cameras" of the reality show, b/c the first time she kinda' gave the cameras a look, like, "can you see anything?".

Very cute, so true to life, the only thing I didn't get was why she didn't go home to labor instead of staying with all the whackos! I did very much enjoy the talent show aspect of the whole thing! :

Is it wrong that, while watching the episode I kept thinking, "I can't wait to go to MDC tomorrow and see if everybody else liked it as much as I am!"

Extra bonus points for not rushing to the hospital!

Also, for treating bfing a stranger's baby as embarrassing, but not gross or anything. "That's funny, she's not hungry!"

Why on EARTH would they let Dwight go to their house? Crazy.

FWIW to everybody that is saying, "well that's why you don't use a hospital" re: the bad nurse, I had a hospital delivery last May and every nurse I had was awesome. Seriously. I had read so many horror stories that I went in prepared to fight during the birth and after, and it just... wasn't neccessary. Just sayin'... they're not all like that.

Lee Kirk who played the LC is Jenna's bf IRL which makes it a little funnier. I was surprised that the LC was male, never seen one of those.

That definitely makes it even funnier!

This episode is why I love the office so much. For a while there, it wasn't so great - but I'm a big fan again!

Color me surprised. I thought Jenna was still married to that director. How about that.

Yeah, I was getting ready to be all know-it-all, so I googled it and I was WRONG! Heaven forbid.

I just saw it as a tweet on the fan site with the Angela interview (link above) and googled it. It is scary/cool how you can find out anything in seconds on Google.

Oh, I'd forgotten about that one! She was pumping at her desk (out in the open) and getting nasty about people staring at her, LOL. She also brought her baby to work and breastfed it.

All three of mine have been hospital births, and all three times my nurses were actually pretty great. In fact, with my first we asked the nurse for formula because I was afraid the baby wasn't getting enough (yes, I know better now!) and the nurse gave us a REALLY hard time before she finally handed it over. I co-slept with all three and nobody batted an eye.

Anyone wanna talk about last nights episode?

I thought poor Jim was gonna go nuts. But at the last second....he pulled it out! Whew!

I really am beginning to like Kathy Bates character. I love how honest she is. Keeps Michael in line. I wonder if we will be seein Daryll more often now?

Other than that, Jim and Dwights interactions are growing more awesome.

I read on the NBC The Office board that someone thought the show was becoming all about JAM and not about any of the other characters. Anyone else agree?

Haven't seen last night's ep (Tivo) but wanted to talk about the birth episode.

I get that a lot of people don't like covers (I loathe them) but it would be in Pam's character to wear one of those. Remember when before her and Jim were dating her hair was always pulled back and she was very buttoned up? Both Jim and Pam tend to be more discreet (Not that you have to be discreet to nurse- that is not what I am saying) OTH, the woman who came into Pam's room WAS nursing, and she wasn't wearing ANY cover (that's how both Jim and Pam saw that the baby latched so easily) So I think the cover was in deference to Pam's character, as opposed to how the show feels about NIP.

I also think that it was great that Pam waited to go to the hospital, but it wasn't because it wasn't an emergency. It was because she knew that if she went to the hospital, she would have a child, and she was scared. In her "in the midst of hard labor and first time mom" head she thought that not going to the hospital = no baby. I kind of felt that way with my first, so I knew exactly what she was thinking.

When Jim said after 19 hours of labor did he mean since the beginning of her labor (while waiting at the office) or an ADDITIONAL 19 hours once they were at the hospital?

JMO

PS- LOVE LOVE LOVE them as parents!!
