It's so interesting thinking about "the date" that Michael will be born. That will be his very special day for his whole life! Which date will it be? It won't be the 8th--unless and whirlwind labor ensues...like NOW!...

...nope....
but it could be any other day afterwards....what will his number be? 7-9-08? Will he be a 7-11 boy? What date is going to be here on after labeled "Michael's birthday"? Only time will tell!
Apparently, Michael was tempted with 7-8, but thought twice about it and changed his mind. He just didn't like the feel of it, I suppose. He tried the idea on for size for a few hours last night, as he sent his mother through a series of pretty intense contractions. So much so, that I decided to throw some last minute things into the suitcase, because I was becoming increasingly convinced that the "last minute" was soon approaching. Strong, discernable contractions, lots of pressure, like the feel of a baby trying to get out, all last for a couple of hours.
But alas...he tried on the date for size and thought that he prefers other numbers to be inscribed on his birth certificate, birthday bulletin board at school, driver's license, passport, and college and job applications. After all that, the contractions subsided and I woke up this morning with a tranquil tummy. Oh well.
So, we wait some more and see what happens tonight! At least one thing is for sure...like any muscle, the more I get a workout, hopefully, the smoother real labor will go. As psychologically unsettling these series of contractions can be, hopefully they'll pay off in the end!
Until tomorrow!

Wow two days left on the countdown!
I think 7-11 would be a good birthday.
