Hospital or home? Ask first
Many Muskogee babies are born at Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee, and some families come from Wagoner, Checotah or Fort Gibson for the birth. Hospital stays after delivery are often short, so flowers can arrive just as everyone is packing to leave.
That is why many people send flowers to the house a day or two after the family gets home. It also avoids any rules about flowers in the maternity unit or the NICU, where flowers are often not allowed.
Soft pinks, blues and yellows are common, but there are no rules. A cheerful mixed bouquet works for any baby. Some people add a balloon or a small stuffed animal if the florist carries them. See balloons and flowers.
