I initially gave this episode a 7 because it was just ok. However after rewatching the super fan version, like others episodes, I feel it improved the quality a good bit. The deleted scenes involving Meredith's boozing and Jan breast feeding had me rolling. Also additional scenes involving Dwight with the stroller were awesome as that was initially the best part of the original cut. Like other extended episodes as well, more dramatic scenes being viewed adds to the depth and emotion of the episode. We get to see more of Michael struggle with the fact that Astrid isn't his baby. The additional scenes help strengthen the overall narrative of the episode and it feels more "complete". While this episode isn't one of the funniest in the series it still has great character plot development.
If you haven't watched the super fans version of this series do yourself a favor and watch the show back again this way, because there are a lot of "meh" episodes that I find to be quite better. I could never go back to the original 22 minute cuts.
