Aren’t we getting streaming video of the delivery? If you were half the geek you think you are, we would be right there with you.

Webcam be damned. Nobody deserves to witness it unless they are actually in the room. Much like other uses for webcams. Or so I understand.

Have we gotten to the point where the breasts point off in two different directions? Speaking from personal experience, YUK. Ok I guess that was way TMI.

Love the ilustrative definity that the calendar offers!
Per my (limited) deductive conclusions, Rory (the soon-to-be-chosen chosen middle name of the arrival) will prove Jdog, Michael M., or myself to be the winners.
Why?
Well, as the calendar shows, all three of us picked Wednesday as the launch date. What better day for the parents than a Wednesday? Makes for a very long weekend with paid time off for the exhausted creators. Call it Rory’s Holiday…and I still think the 17th (next week’s Wed.) looks like the winner. Egg’s getting close to being hatched.

It’s probably fortune telling rather than reading.

Hey, if I guess this one, too, I might open a fortune-reading-hotline as a side job.

For the middle name: how about Gabriel?

Oh, and on the sitting on an egg business… I take it you haven’t seen “March of the Penguins”?

“And honestly, no one expects you to drop everything and update us the second the child arrives. Within an hour of delivery is just fine.”

Jane, we get to watch the whole process via webcam –didn’t you know?

Though it’s probably safe to assume that your son will be born without a tail

Bobtail would be a great middle name.

“Blue Merle” would be a good middle name.

Re “so says Lilit”: I would just like to point out something that many of you non-dog fanatics may not be aware of, namely, on June 10 Lilit correctly predicted the composition of the litter born to Australian shepherd Flying Fortress’ Bibi Blocksberg (Blum) on July 14. Lilit said, and I quote, “Jaz recem, da jih bo… 7. 4 fantki, 3 puncke. 3 blumerli, 4 trikolorji. 2 z repom, 5 brez – ta brez pomeni razlicne dolzine NBT.”

Translation: 7 pups, 4 boys and 3 girls. 3 blue merle, 4 tricolor. Two with tails, five without (i.e. various lengths of natural bobtail–NBT).

A month later we got this announcement on Blum’s webpage:

14.7.2006 se je skotilo sedem Ä�udovitih mladiÄ�kov. 4 fantki ( 3 black tri z dolgim repom in 1 blue merle NBT) in 3 puncke ( 1 black tri NBT in 2 blue merle z dolgim repom).

Translation: On July 14 seven wonderful puppies were born. 4 boys (3 black tri with long tail and 1 blue merle with NBT) and 3 girls (1 black tri NBT and 2 blue merle with long tails).

So: Seven puppies. 4 boys, 3 girls. 3 were blue merle, 4 were black tri. The only thing Lilit messed up on was the tails–it was exactly reversed; five had long tails, 2 were NBT.

Sorry, Magda, this could be a long pregnancy. Though it’s probably safe to assume that your son will be born without a tail, whatever Lilit says.

I just wish you could be more organized about this whole thing.

*rolls eyes*

Your calendar with all its entries looks like a reception committee for your new baby – I do think it is OK to delegate some things :-)

Wow, you with the handwriting – did you go to architect school?

If your day job doesn’t work out, you could get hired to caption comics.
