The Final Countdown...

Well, I will be 40 weeks tomorrow, February 28th, & the baby could arrive any day now... I've had a few people "placing" their bets... the most notable date thus far is for something to occur this Friday night, the 2nd of March. Not only will there be a full moon (oooooohhhhhh) on this night, there is also a lunar eclipse taking place (double/triple oooooohhhhhh).... the myth behind this crazy phenomenon is that the pull of the moon works in relationship w. the pull of the tides aka "WATER" hence the association with the increase in births during this full moon fever.

Funny side note, my Mom worked in obstetrics for 38 years, talk about experience with this crazy phenomenon. I remember her sharing w. my sisters and I all these crazy full moon fever baby births at South Shore Hospital in Weymouth, Mass... more on potential arrival dates, my Mom has some hopeful thoughts on the arrival date for Baby Jube... she's been suggesting/hinting about the 6th of March, hmmm, one could only wonder why? (It's her birthday!).

Another funny tidbit, my mother-in-law, Jeanette, is convinced that the baby will arrive this Saturday the 3rd of March, which is also Auntie Bob's, her sister, our Aunt Barbara Fowler's birthday.

My sister Lynne is flying to Aruba on Saturday, and of course, she & I are both thinking... Murphy's Law.

And, of course EVERYBODY wants to be the first to be called when Baby Jube enters the world... I am going to have to disappoint for just a moment, then you can get over it, I highly doubt that making a phone call as soon as Baby Jube enters the world will be the first thought on my mind - just taking a stab in the dark with that thought. But, have no fear, calls, emails, pictures, smoke signals, snail mails, etc. will arrive promptly to all who requested. Jerrod will do his very best to make sure that all will been informed. May I request that if you receive the word to pass this very special word along, Thank you!

This may be our last blog before Baby Jube arrives, or we could wait 2 more weeks - whatever the case, we, Jerrod, baby & I, greatly appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers, well-wishes, support, encouragement, advice, and most importantly your love!
