Synopsis

Dwight acts out the procedure of childbirth with a watermelon so Michael can be prepared for the arrival of Jan's baby. Dwight somewhen drops the watermelon from his apron, which bursts onto the floor. Michael insists that the Party Planning Committee arrange a shower simply like they gave Phyllis for her wedding. Oscar deems the whole thing pointless as the infant isn't even related to Michael. Angela plans a "Gauge Whose Baby Motion-picture show" game for the shower and gets angry when Andy unintentionally makes fun of her childhood moving-picture show. Stanley gets irritated at pregnant women in the part when they complain about swollen ankles, constant hunger, varicose veins, and nipple chafing. He has the same problems and doesn't make them complain about it to everyone.

Jim and Pam accept a hard time trying to communicate with each other throughout the twenty-four hours, with Pam telling the documentary crew that the two of them would be having an "out of sync" day fifty-fifty if she were in Scranton, which she is not.

When Jan arrives, everyone'south surprised to see that her baby daughter, Astrid, has already been born. The shower is held anyway with Michael doing his best to placate Jan past existence cold to Holly (to whom he gave a head's up prior to the shower).

The part employees pitched in money to purchase a stroller for Jan who has already bought a $1200 Orbit stroller. Dwight tin can't imagine a stroller should cost equally much as his bomb shelter. He takes the Orbit out to test its durability. While the shower continues, he straps a watermelon into the stroller and pushes it into fences, throws it from minor heights and ties it to the back of his car for a bumper test.

Michael loves children. He never misses an opportunity to hold ane. But when he holds Astrid, he feels nothing. He seeks communication from another "baby-daddy," Darryl. Darryl explains that Michael doesn't have any attachment to Astrid because she's not his baby.

Despite Michael's pretense at the hostility toward Holly, Jan recognizes his attraction to her. Afterwards retrieving Astrid from Angela and Andy's vegetable photograph shoot, she prepares to get out, but not before telling Michael not to date Holly. He agrees. Then he goes into the building and hugs Holly. He feels the connexion to her he didn't experience with Astrid and asks Holly out on a appointment. She accepts.

Jim and Pam phone call each other at exactly the same fourth dimension and leave similar messages, finishing the solar day still having not reached each other.

Deleted scenes

Michael reveals that January has allowed him to come up with names if she has a boy (he chooses Chevy, after Chevy Hunt).
Michael and Dwight reveal the contents of the "go purse" Michael carries around in case he needs to rush to the hospital for the nascency, as written out in What to Expect When You're Expecting. Coming from the 1986 edition, the contents are laughably out of engagement, though Dwight has added some items of his own.
Kevin and Phyllis pour orange juice into baby bottles for the shower - Meredith adds her own special ingredient, assuring them "it's for me".
Stanley wonders why all babies seem genetically predisposed to stare at him.
January reluctantly plays a pointless baby shower game. After Holly remarks how beautiful January looks (to which Jim mockingly states, "Await till you become to know her improve"), Michael scolds her for talking during the party.
Holly talks with Toby (via speakerphone) about what it was similar being the Hour person.
Jan finds out that Kevin donated sperm at the aforementioned sperm bank she went to. While Kevin gleefully wonders if he might have "done it" with her, in a talking head interview, Jan considers her options if he really is the father: "Sue? ...icide?"
More of Dwight's "testing" the stroller bought for Jan, catastrophe with Dwight albeit he is very impressed when information technology holds up.
Post-obit a word regarding Astrid in the otherwise empty conference room, Jim insists that he has no intention of existence Michael's connection with reality.
Kevin, Phyllis, and Kelly wonder whether "she" should slumber on her tum or back, but the photographic camera zooms out to testify not Astrid simply a passed-out Meredith. In a talking head, Kelly says that, if she makes no mention of Meredith's apparel, there'due south no reason to bring up her drinking problem.
Jan breastfeeds Astrid in plain view of the office, as Kevin and Creed happily look on.
Extension of the scene in which Michael tells Phyllis that he wants alive storks. He says that if not live storks, and so he wants at to the lowest degree Big Bird.

Amusing details

When Michael interrupts Phyllis's talking caput interview, Angela watches with satisfaction.
Creed wraps his foot in bandages, presumably the aforementioned foot which has but four toes (as revealed in the episode "Take Your Daughter to Work Day").
Among the decorations for the babe shower is a large Big Bird stuffed toy. Phyllis couldn't get the storks Michael requested in a deleted scene.
Jan'south throne is a conference room chair decorated with Post-It notes.
Stanley's contribution to the baby shower collection is a single dollar.
When photographing Astrid, Angela calls the baby "information technology" instead of "she".
Creed implies that he fought at Omaha Beach. Assuming his birthdate of Nov 1, 1925, is right, this would brand him eighteen when D-Mean solar day occurred and thus is possible.
Holly wears a different color of nail polish on each hand, in keeping with her quirky personality.
Michael'due south "special mark" that he was to put on Astrid when she was built-in was "MGS", his initials.
Jan left backside the stroller she received from the employees of Dunder Mifflin. Information technology sits outside the door to the role lobby when she drives abroad, and Jim afterwards walks by information technology when he leaves piece of work.
Instead of proverb, "quote ... unquote", Michael says "quote ... quote unquote".
Jan allows Michael to determine the name for the babe if it was a male child, still, it is heavily implied that she already knew her infant would be a girl which ways she only allowed him to cull the proper name because she knew he had no gamble of actually naming her kid.
When Jan is sitting on the floor, singing to Astrid, you lot can meet a hemorrhoid pillow sitting on the chair backside her. Many women get hemorrhoids later giving birth.

Goofs

In the cold open, Jim shows two diagrams describing Astrid's parents and the watermelon's parents. According to a watcher's betoken of view, on Astrid'southward parents' diagram, the sperm donor (the father) is on the left side and Jan (the mother) is on the right side. On the watermelon'due south parents' diagram, Dwight is listed on the left side and Michael on the right. All the same, Dwight should be listed on the right and Michael on the left in order to correctly represent with Astrid'south diagram (Dwight is the "mother" of the watermelon considering he's "birthing" information technology, similar how Jan is the mother of Astrid).

Connections to previous episodes

Andy calls a infant picture show of himself "Nard Puppy", a callback to the nickname "Nard Dog" he received in the episode "Local Advertisement".
In "Take Your Daughter to Piece of work 24-hour interval", Michael complained nigh having children around the office and was awkward effectually Toby's girl, nonetheless, by the end of the episode he calls himself a "picayune child lover". In this episode, he talks nearly how much he likes babies besides.
In "Drug Testing", Kevin asked for a magazine when he went to requite a urine sample. This suggests that Kevin has been a sperm donor for quite some fourth dimension.

Behind the scenes

Of all the scenes of the series that were cutting for time, Brian Baumgartner's favorite was the deleted scene where Jan learns that Kevin donated sperm at the same sperm bank she went to.^[2]
When Melora Hardin'southward daughter was only a few months onetime, her family joined Greg Daniels's, and Steve Carell'due south families for brunch. Hardin breast-fed her daughter at the table, which fabricated Daniels and Carell uncomfortable and may have been the inspiration for Jan openly breast-feeding Astrid in the office.^[3]

Cultural references

Michael wanted to get live storks for the baby shower. In Western civilization, the stork is the symbol for childbirth.
In a deleted scene, Michael says that if he can't become storks, he wants Big Bird, a big yellowish bird graphic symbol from the children's show "Sesame Street".
Michael asks for a golden shower, inadvertently using a slang term for urolagnia, the practice of urination for sexual pleasure.
Pam mentions a friend who makes "Murakami-style collages". She is possibly referring to Haruki Murakami, a Japanese surrealist writer, or more than likely, Takashi Murakami, a Japanese contemporary artist.
On the phone, Pam talks well-nigh Sarah, the T.A., a common abbreviation for education assistant.
Jan wants to talk to Michael about Astrid's 529. A 529 programme is a style of saving money for a child'due south higher education. The joke is that Jan expects Michael to contribute to Astrid's college fund. In the United States, college expenses such as tuition are the responsibility of the educatee, and families typically salvage money in accelerate to pay for it.
Angela's picture show of Astrid in a vegetable patch echoes the style of photographer Anne Geddes.
Omaha Beach was one of the v beaches where Allied forces landed on June 6, 1944. It faced the greatest amount of German resistance and suffered the most casualties.
Jan sings "Son of a Preacher Human" at her baby shower. The song is sung from the point of view of a young adult female who sneaks off with a beau whenever his father (a preacher) comes to visit. It is a incomparably inappropriate song for a babe.
