Week 38 - I tell the baby to "get out of my wife"

A watched pot never boils. Equally as true: A watched pregnant women never gives birth.

This is why I'm having a night on the town. One of my best friends is in town for his 30th birthday, and we're meeting up for dinner tonight. Then, I'm going to a swanky Christmas party for my sister's company. This way, if I get a few drinks in me, and I start to forget that my baby is due anytime, maybe my wife will finally go into labor.

Now, people have told me that the first baby usually comes late. Honestly, if I have to wait another 4 weeks, I'll go crazy. We're both ready to get on with the child rearing already. Really, she's been pregnant for a LONG TIME. Actually, we've been married for 16 months. She's been pregnant for 8 of them. So, she's been pregnant for half of our marriage. That's a long time.

So, here's to a baby this weekend. Wish us luck.
