Our First Baby
JordanThomasHall4 April 2018
The Rileys have Gillis and his wife Honeybee (Maxine Semon) and fellow employee Hal Sloman (Jay Kirby, "Hopalong Cassidy" series) over to play cards. Hal is distracted at work as he is about to have his first baby and worried about his wife. Peg reminisces to tell the story of how her and Riley handled the events of expecting their first child. The young couple were struggling and living in a bare-bones apartment. Riley comically misunderstands Peg's hints that she is pregnant and is a comical wreck when the big day comes.

Another episode with heart, mixed with comedy.

She's having a baby
mitchrmp7 June 2014
As a young man from work announces to the Riley's and Gillis' that his wife is expecting a baby, Riley announces that he remembers their first birth and it was a piece of cake. Then Peg sends him on an errand and tells the real story.

They were young and poor living in a small apartment when she found out about the baby, and announcing it only caused about six months of worry. When it was finally time to have her baby, things got even more nerve- racking for the expectant father.

I like flashback episodes. How was it then compared to now? And of course Riley's hangups both before and during the birth make this episode even more comical!
