Based off of my lengthy research I've come up with the date that I'm thinking our baby will arrive: Saturday, October 14th. How did I come to this conclusion? Astrology. Again. I know that I said that I didn't believe, but maybe I do...
Here's my horoscope for October 14th:
Someone is starting a new phase of their life today, and you will be tuned into it. Excessive worry can have you trapped in a mental loop. While you may not enjoy it, you could get so obsessed over one anxiety that you stay stuck there. Go for a walk and do some deep breathing. Break the cycle.
And here's the baby's horoscope for the same day:
Some walls are coming down today -- this collapse will reveal a wonderful new truth. Quiet times with one or two intimates helps your day get off to a peaceful and loving start. By the evening, you're ready to twist and shout. Yours is the one sign that knows how to balance out social and personal time.
This is clearly hard scientific evidence that our child will arrive on Saturday! Anyone want to weigh in on the date??? I can't offer a prize, but isn't simply being right enough?
I'm sitting here actually kind of speechless. If you actually deliver on Saturday... OMG! You simply MUST print out those two horoscopes for his baby book if that happens.
Girl, I miss you. And I know I'm the worst correspondent in the whole world. But I miss you.
I'm going to just sit here on pins and needles now until Saturday!

Do you mind me asking where you found the horoscopes? I have never really put much stock in them... but after reading that! Wow. I may need to read my own now! I doubt that I'll find anything so conclusive as yours to predict my delivery date though... it would just be too amazing.

CLEARLY it's going to be the 14th! However, I was kind of hoping for the 13th. The 13th is my lucky day, and I've always been partial to Friday the 13th as well. You know, my crazy religious beliefs and all... :) Whatever day he arrives will be the perfect day, though, I'm sure.
