Lana, how's the pregnancy going? You're due in July IIRC?

I remember my wife saying that she felt really good until the last

month. The last month she couldn't wait to get it over with.

Yes, some older men have that problem too, though thankfully I have

managed to avoid it so far.

I've never heard about hiccups in the womb. I thought that only

happened after drinking or eating food. Oh well, I guess not.

When my daughter was born, my wife kept me up all night while she was

in labor. By the next morning I was pretty bleary-eyed. So when my

daughter finally started coming out, I thought she was a coconut,

until I realized it was the top of her head. I was greatly relieved

to see her face moments later

Birth is one of the miracles of life! It brought tears to my eyes.

Sounds like you're well prepared.

It won't be long now

Best wishes for a smooth birthing.
