Too soon? Naw, once you hit 38 weeks or so you're on the baby's schedule.

Everything is perfect; we are inducing a little early so as to avoid the baby growing to a size that would require a c-section. There have been no complications nor fear of complications, and we don't anticipate any issues tomorrow aside from the small chance that a son will come out in place of our daughter. Which would be OK except the name is kind of up in the air. There is heavy lobbying from the five year old to have a boy and name him Jack.

We eschew drama in the reproductive realm! Cross your fingers anyhow.

Elinor has gained a scant 5 lbs during this pregnancy; her Dr. is very happy - weight, blood pressure, sugar and everything stayed nominal throughout. It's those sturdy Eastern European babymakin' genes of hers. She worked until last Friday and has been swimming 600 yards twice a week throughout. It's been a copacetic ride with, hopefully, an exciting and perfect finish tomorrow.

I'll post pics ASAP; induction process begins at 6 am.

May all go well with you and yours, Dawg. Best hopes for a healthy daughter (or son, if that's the way things turn out).

Um, speaking of which, I have 8 puppies available.  They're three weeks old and very cute (of course).  Anybody want one?

Oh, not fair, not fair.  I think I gained all the weight Elinor is "missing" -- nearly 50 lbs all told!  (Although my Doc tells me it's a side effect of the gestational diabetes, is within normal limits for my body type and it will go away as my insulin levels return to normal.)  My sturdy Eastern European genes don't seem to have helped.  Maybe it's the English/Irish half that's causing all the trouble.  

It usually is, anyway.

OK, I guess it's about time for an update.  

First and foremost, Doc has decided that my particular combination of complications warrant an induction if I haven't delivered by the 21st.  This is a week in advance of my due date, which is fine by me.  So we'll be going to the hospital at 5:30 AM next Monday, if not before.  I've shown a few signs of preparedness about which I'm sure you'd rather not hear the details, but I seem to be seriously lacking in the contractions department (very few false labor contractions, even).  So I don't expect at this point to deliver naturally.  Somewhat disappointing, but my brother and I were both induced and at least one of us appears to have turned out OK.  

Second, in spite of the results of the poll that appeared above, Pedro and I have agreed to spell our son's nickname "Pearce."  It's good to see that, in these troubled times, for once, at least, clearer heads have indeed prevailed.  

Photos will, of course, be posted as soon as they are available.  We have a digital camera and high-speed internet access from the hospital, so expect something by Monday evening.  In the meantime, Pedro and I can hardly stand the anticipation.  I hope all the other new babes are doing well, and I hope the new parents are keeping up on their sleep rather than being so silly as to post here.  I, personally, am caught up in last-minute preparations and probably won't be around again (except, perhaps, to lurk briefly) until after the boy makes his appearance.  

See you kids on the flip side.

Awesome.   Good luck in popping out Jr.  And I'm sorry to hear that you're going to be misspelling his name from birth.  But he can always change it later once he reaches the age of reason.

So "cooler heads" meaning that you've beaten Pedro down to the point where he will cave and let you misname his son?
