The episode received mixed reviews from critics and came first in its time slot helping NBC be third highest rated network of the night. Contents 1 Synopsis 2 Production 3 Reception 4 References 5 External links Synopsis Pam ( Jenna Fischer ) and Jim ( John Krasinski ) both acquire sales while making small talk about their baby 's upcoming birth. Dwight ( Rainn Wilson ) wants to do the same and asks Angela ( Angela Kinsey ) to have a baby with him. Angela is initially excited, but gets annoyed with Dwight making a parenting contract with absurd demands he wants her to agree to. Michael ( Steve Carell ) anxiously waits for Pam and Jim 's baby to be born ; Jim urges Pam to let him take her to the hospital, but Pam would rather wait until midnight like she and Jim wanted to do initially ( arriving after midnight means a longer hospital stay under the terms of their health insurance ). She finds comfort in watching the rest of the office performing absurd activities to distract her from the pain. When Jim reaches his breaking point, Pam reveals that their baby is a girl, which calms Jim 's nerves a bit, but then she tells him that her water broke. Since Pam and Kevin ( Brian Baumgartner ) have gotten hungry at the same times, they have enjoyed regular meals together, and Kevin prepares her one final `` Ultra Feast '' before she gives birth. When the contractions appear to become too extreme, Jim, Michael, and Kevin all think it is time for her to go to the hospital. Pam still refuses, and finally breaks down admitting she is too scared to give birth. Jim initially assures her that everything will be all right, but goes into a panic when he 's informed she is now at 2 minutes in between contractions ( 5 -- 7 minutes is the suggested time to leave for the hospital ). Pam finally acquiesces and Michael drives her and Jim to the hospital, with Dwight `` escorting '' them. Pam realizes she has forgotten her iPod with her desired birth music on it so they request that Dwight retrieve it from their house, asking that he not `` touch anything ''. After 19 hours of labor Cecelia Marie Halpert is born at 8 : 31 pm, weighing in at 7 lbs 2oz. Pam 's breastfeeding does not go well, and though a male lactation consultant ( Lee Kirk, Jenna Fischer 's husband, and at that time Jenna 's fiance ) is summoned to provide apparently successful coaching, Cecelia still fails to `` latch '' properly. Against the advice of the nurse, Jim and Pam opt to have Cecelia spend the night with them instead of in the nursery, and they are kept up long hours tending to her. A sleep - deprived Pam accidentally nurses a baby that belongs to a new mom ( Melissa Rauch ) in the same hospital room. As Jim and Pam get ready to leave the hospital, Pam manages to breast feed Cecelia while Jim gets the car ( which is littered with parking tickets, thanks to Michael parking the car in an ambulance only zone ). In the meantime, Michael sees the birth as proof that he is a successful office matchmaker. He sets up Kevin on a lunch date with Erin ( Ellie Kemper ), making Andy ( Ed Helms ) jealous and finally driving him to consider actually asking her out himself, to which she happily accepts as Michael looks on. At the Halpert residence, Dwight embarks on a search for the iPod only to find mold under the sink and moves in for several days while he reconstructs the cabinets. Dwight and Angela make the final revisions to the parenting contract, but Dwight begins to have second thoughts after an encounter with Pam 's friend Isabel ( Kelen Coleman ), with whom he had a one night stand at Jim and Pam 's wedding. He signs the contract, but decides to hold it off. Production The first part of the episode was written by Daniel Chun his second writing credit for the series after `` Murder '' and directed by Seth Gordon his second directing credit for the series after `` Double Date ''. The second part was written by Charlie Grandy, his fourth writing credit of the series and directed by Harold Ramis, who also directed `` A Benihana Christmas, '' `` Safety Training '' and `` Beach Games. '' The episode also guest stars Nelson Franklin playing Nick the IT Administrator who would appear in later episodes and Linda Purl who played Helene, Pam 's mother who previously dated Michael. Reception In its original American broadcast, part one of `` The Delivery '' was watched by 8.71 million viewers, with a 4.5 rating and a 12 share in the 18 -- 49 demographic, with part two increasing in viewers to 9.35 million and a 4.9 rating and a 13 share winning its timeslot both times and helping NBC come third ahead of ABC and The CW. The episode ranked 10th in the weekly 18 -- 49 ratings and ranked 24th in total viewers weekly ratings. It was the last episode of The Office to be viewed by over 9 million viewers. Dan Phillips of IGN gave the episode a 6.6 saying that Pam 's lactation problems and Kevin 's lack of personality while dating Erin made consistently amusing plots, `` But sadly everything that the episode 's half - hour gets right does n't make up for the painfully uncomfortable and largely unfunny first half. '' He particularly objected to the length that Pam 's refusal to go to the hospital is stretched out, since the entire office supporting her irrational decision even after her water breaks was `` uncomfortable and unbelievable ''. Ken Tucker of Entertainment Weekly gave the episode a positive review saying `` Last night managed to combine a thoroughly believable and funny central idea -- that Pam would try to delay going to the hospital to get some extra time, gaming the office 's `` stupid HMO '' -- with a batch of fine Michael scenes and a thoroughly did n't - buy - it - for - a-second Dwight subplot. '' Nathan Rabin of The A.V. Club gave the episode a B+ saying `` It felt a little padded and implausible and lurched from one radically different tone to another but it was also very funny and intriguingly prickly and real when it was n't being cartoonish and over the top. It was n't a home run. '' Joel Keller of TV Squad gave the episode a mixed review saying `` As usual with most one - hour ' Office ' episodes, the first half was better than the second. But even the first half of this one had some problems ''. References Jump up ^ `` NBC to Deliver Special One - Hour Baby Episode of ' The Office ' on March 4 ''. thefutoncritic.com.
