So someone I happen to know is due with baby #2 anyday now. Or any hour now. I know she is getting super annoyed at people asking questions, making comments, and just generally bugging her about when she is going to have the baby. As we all know, they come when they want to. She got "spoiled" by her first one who was a week or so early. Now she is just days away from her due date and getting anxious. She also made the mistake of putting a comment on Facebook about impending arrival happening yesterday--that warranted an annyoing phone call from her sister (not me, the other one).
We have a small family bet going on as to what day she'll deliver. Emma has picked today, I picked tomorrow and Thursday (hey, I can't make up my mind--I can have two days if I want them). The stakes are pretty low, maybe the winner will come away with a dollar or two if my mom pays up.
If my sister's wish were to come true, she would have a baby girl born today. She wanted to hit September because she likes the birthstone better than October. Being that she is a little spoiled (I can say that, I'm her sister) she will get a nice piece of jewelry with the babe's birthstone from her hubby. Then she will also have baby birthstones in light blue and dark blue--she is Kappa through and through. The baby even has an adorable onesie with an owl on it waiting for her.
I know what my sister is thinking right now--she's having a boy in October way past her due date. ;) Either way, I wish her a nice labor with a wonderful epidural, a small head full of beautiful red hair, and a baby as healthy as can be.

Tell her to guzzle some castor oil. It worked like charm for both my kiddos. They were born within 12 hours. ;)

Oh I remember the waiting... both mine were about a week overdue.. the things they suggest to help you go into labor! Ya. They didn't work.
TJ--you are a braver woman than me for doing the castor oil trick. I had to take it once when I was about 16 for a medical procedure and NEVER AGAIN.
As I type she should be at the hospital being induced. At her appointment yesterday they estimated the baby to be over 10 lbs so gave it the eviction notice.
I just always asked my husband to take me to downtown Atlanta and make left hand turns. That will scare anything out of anybody.
Glad the new one is on it's way. Too bad about the October thing, though.
I love the blue and blue, too. (Did your sister tell you that we "know" each other from greekchat?)
MOTR--she said once she looked at your blog she put 2+2 together. The internet just makes this world smaller all the time! I am hoping that #2 is a girl--I've thought it all along, so we'll see if I'm right. If not, the two bags and boxes of clothes and girly stuff I sent are coming back to my house I guess!
