Good luck with the new baby! *smiles and gives a thumbs up* We'll miss you!

Thanks, sweetie, I'm sure I'll miss being around after a while, too. Good thing we live in my mother-in-law's house right now, and this comes with 'built-in' evening babysitting :)

Vielen Dank!! Mein Erstgeborener kam so ziemlich ohne Probleme, also hoffe ich auf eine Wiederholung :)

Good luck, dear! 27/6 is my favorite day of the year (met hubby back in 1971, got my driver's license in 1974, got married in 1981), so hopefully it'll be as happy for you! *hugs*

Also, yay on job! You go, guys!

He, he, he, one of my best friend's birthday is that day, too, so she's hoping for a due-day birth. As far as I'm concerned, that little guy can come out any time he feels like from now on ;)
And yeah, I'm glad about the job, and the best thing is that hubby doesn't have to start until 7/10, so he'll be around 24/7 to help out until the birth and afterwards.

*grins* When my son was due (February 10) and didn't make it (he's STILL habitually late), I got three meaningful dates to look forward to: Feb. 12 (expectant great-grandmother's birthday), Feb. 13 (a Friday; I finally went into labor) and Feb. 14 -- Gerrit was born at 1.22am on Valentine's day. :)

And oh yeah -- when I went to my two-days-past-due-date checkup and my ob/gyn told me it might be "anytime now -- or maybe in a week", I could've strangled him. Cheerfully. I was WAY past ready!

And good thing for hubby being around to help those first days! Good luck!

Thanks, sweetie, I'm definitely hoping that all will work out just fine - birth and job :)

I'll bet you can't wait! We're going to want baby pics, you know.

It really figures that more job offers have come in now - that's the way it always seems to work!

oh you know you'll get pics :) I even told my mother who's a complete computer virgin, to ask the neighbor to set her up an e-mail account on his computer so I can e-mail her pics rather than send them the old-fashioned postal way.

I hated the last few weeks before my second was born...kept hoping she'd come early but, no, she arrived on her due date (with 9 mins to spare)

Sit back, put your feet up and RELAX while you can because those new little people can be VERY demanding!

Congratulations :-)

Tell me about it! I'm ready for the little guy to make his arrival any day now. The earlier the better ;)
And I'm trying to rest all I can right now, because if this second little guy is anything like his big brother (who is 6), he'll throw all the 'newborn rules' in the wind. You know the ones where new babies are supposed to sleep 18 hours a day? Pffft, never happened with my first son...

LOL! Mine are only 2 years apart and NEITHER of them slept through the night. I would alternate between the two of them for the next 3 years until I'd almost forgotten what it was like to sleep uninterrupted for more than ONE hour at a time!

They are better now...once I can convince them that they really ought to be in bed!

You will have to watch for the sibling jealousy as big brother might not like baby taking up all his mom's attention :-)

Sleeping through the night? Didn't happen for us until Gerrit started school. All my friends' kids snored happily away after 9 months; I had 2.5 years of getting up each night until he figured out how to turn on a light and toddle into the bedroom to sleep in our bed. *sigh*
