If

baby decides to be born today, he or she would share a birthday with:

1. Ernie Banks
2. Jackie Robinson
3. Nolan Ryan
4. Justin Timberlake

Well, 3 out of 4 isn't so bad.

?

I don't feel so bad about my maternity clothes after seeing this. I mean, really. It just makes you wonder... you're a millionaire.... you can hire someone to pick out your clothes... and this is what you decide on????

Rumors are swirling that J. Lo may be in the hospital delivering as we speak. I may be right behind her; I've been feeling a bit squishy today. Already had one false alarm that sent me to the doc's. Sigh, not yet.

:)

Poised to be....

the BIGGEST COMEBACK OF ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(love the sentimental video montage)

Self- portrait

I took this picture of myself this morning. I've gained a few pounds.

T- 3 days to go

Only 3-5% of babies are actually born on their due date, so I guess the 3 day countdown doesn't mean all that much.

Kim is due tomorrow. I am due Monday. Two years ago we were due (and had our daughters) 8 days apart. They say women that live together get their cycles synched up. In our case, apparently, its continued to be synched for the past 7 years since we last lived together.

This time we think we have an even better shot of delivering on the same day. Could you just imagine Emil and Devin running back and forth between rooms a la Steve Martin & Martin Short in Father of the Bride Part 2? Wait... I'm the only one who's seen that movie multiple times?

Or am I just the only one who's willing to admit it. Umm hmm, that's it. Don't worry, I won't tell.

Well, anyways, we'll just have to see how it plays out. Right now we're thinking Saturday would be a good day to have some babies. Let's see if the little ones cooperate.

In the midst of tragedy...

we can do nothing but look to our E! News correspondents for strength and courage, and pray that this serves as a wake up call to Unfitney Spears. Girl, get yo ass together.

For Bobo

Happy Birthday. I wish I had some Hennessey. Wit you.

Soon.

Tip O'the day

If you eat your Jello-O Pudding cup with a

very small spoon, it seems to last longer.

You're welcome.

Mmmm

Yesterday I went grocery shopping. There were about 6 items on my list. I somehow managed to spend $144. I'm not sure what happened. It was after lunch; I wasn't hungry. I guess this is what happens when you send the pregnant lady to the Jewels alone. I was looking over the receipt to see how it managed to spiral that out of control.

Impulse buys:

1. 4 Kraft macaroni-n-cheese (always good to have on hand)


2. bag of chocolate chips


3. box of Quaker granola bars- chocolate chip (technically health food, right?)


4. bag of generic "organic" cheese puffs (again... organic = healthy. Yes.)


5. bottle of blueberry juice


6. Key lime yogurt


7. 1 pack square bagels


8. 2 frozen chicken kiev


9. 1 frozen chicken cordon bleu


10. 1 frozen chicken w/ broccoli & cheese


11. 2 packs of bacon (yes 2, because 1 might not have been enough)


12. bag of baby spinach (I can eat it right out of the bag)


13. 2 bags of cinnamon raisin bagel chips, 1 of which I ate that afternoon in its entirety


14. bottle of green olives


15. vanilla pudding cups ("for Ellie", but I ate 2 already)

Time is running out... only 2 weeks left to "eat for 2". My doctor, by the way, does not endorse the whole eating for 2 philosophy. He says I only need to eat an extra 300 calories a day, which is only like a bagel and a glass of milk. Fascist. Oh, I'll have that bagel and milk. And then I'll have the pudding, bag of bagel chips, 17 Hershey's kisses and a couple of oranges, too.

Damnit

Guess I'll have to cross Harlowe Winter & Max Liron right off our name list.

I just knew this would happen.

Listen up you!

Don't even think about taking any of my baby names.

You either:

We've got it narrowed down to about 5 on the girls list and about 10 on the boys list. I'm not about to get scooped like we did the last time. Unfortunately I won't be able to reveal any of our possible choices here, because then people will start telling me stories about how that name reminds me of so-and-so-the-child-molester or so-and-so-the-skanky-ho-they-went-to-high-school-with, and then the name will be ruined.

I'm not really feeling drawn to one name in particular, which makes me nervous. Although the official count is 3 weeks, realistically it could be any day now. Which would put us in the same situation as last time: the baby's out and we still haven't decided. Too much pressure there, plus there's Grandmas present giving you the ole don't-name-the-baby-something-crazy stank eye.

Nope, this time I need to know in advance. I don't know about you, but after 31 hours of labor, the last thing I really feel like doing is making any huge life decisions. Just not feelin' it right then, go figure. At that point you're just wondering how you're still alive.

Wish us luck.
