Not quite. The only interruption at 2AM would be a reasonable one, a
nurse bringing Sammy in for me to feed. And once I was done with that and
Dan was taking Sammy back to the nursery, I'd call my own nurse to bring
me pain relief. (Of course, if the mommy-nurses were busy, I might have a
hard time staying awake waiting for the pill to come....)
