Adoring fans from all across the country have been clamoring for some news on Babygate 07. From our last update, there is nothing much new to report. Jessica had some pretty significant contractions yesterday after dropping me off at school for my first day. As an aside, I paid tribute to teenagers everywhere yesterday by developing a giant zit on my face for the first day of school. I know, it wasn't fair to all the ladies there: "not only are you fertile, but you're also sportin' that spotlight on your face? Take me now." Anyway, other than the contractions, which stopped after a few hours, the only new developments over the weekend were gifts from the small guy's ("S.G.") great aunt and uncle Mary Beth and Charles. They got us a little vibrating chair for the little devil that's really cool, though we still need to get batteries for it; also they got us some burp cloths (doesn't sound exciting but believe me, it is) and some swaddling blankets. And just now we pre-ordered the envelopes for baby announcements, so once the actual announcements come we can just stick em' in and ship em' out.
As today is Wednesday, we have entered the official launch window for mission Sigma Gamma 1. The window will close on 20 February, and beyond that it's off to the hospital for pitocin and forced birth, so everyone put your spiritual heads together and keep up those prayers to whatever higher being seems appropriate to you. And while you're at it, S.G.'s grandpa will soon be making the trip down Route Irish, if indeed he has not already done so, before winding his way back stateside for some much-needed R&R. For those of you who don't know, Route Irish is not the safest route to the airport in the world, so let's all pray he makes it safely (as I'm sure he will). We're hoping for a launch date during said sabbatical so these two esteemed gentlemen may meet one another. But whatever happens, happens.
I suppose that's about it, loyal readers. Remember, no news is good news, or as some say, to paraphrase, no gnus is good gnus.
