Any time is go time


Amy and I went to the doctor's on Monday.

The doctors said Reese had dropped and was in place. The doctor tried to push Reese away from the cervix, but Reese did not budge. Apparently that means she could go soon. Real soon.

The due date is Nov. 12, but the doctor thinks Reese is coming early. How early, we don't know.

The doctor guessed she could come about a week early - putting the delivery somewhere around Nov. 5 or so.

Personally, I'm hoping the baby comes early. But not too early. And in the morning.

If Reese is born two days before the actual due date, and in the morning, her birthday could be 11/10/09, 08:07:06.05! While I don't know if the hospital would actually time it to the second (let alone the five-hundredth of a second), I would just tell everyone that was the time.

Amy and I think we have everything prepared, but it's so hard to tell. The nursery is finished and the carseat is installed and all of her clothes have been washed and we have diapers. Whehoo...I don't know what we're missing besides our baby girl?

And we're both just so curious as to what she will look like and how she will act.

Will she have her mother's eyelashes? Her father's sense of humor (let's hope so!)? Green eyes? Curly hair? Freakishy-long arms and abnormally useful toes?

We must wait and see.
