Hell, yeah! Harrison Brady was born on that December 3rd. I remember it well...we had the game on in my recovery room but I wasn't really paying attention, and was glad it wasn't a particularly memorable game. I went into labor on the 1st, a week early.

I had discussions with my doula on exactly what was to happen should we be laboring during a Patriots game. I was to receive regular updates if we were at a hospital but if we were laboring at home, it was to be in front of the TV. It was all well thought out.

Birthing during football season is rough. But as a woman who cares way more than her husband, I find all the stereotyping amusing. Harrison is named after two Patriots and everyone I tell that to assumes my husband must have done that until they notice the manic gleam in my eye.

Anyway, I'm with JoeSixPat. Get the baby out earlier, it'll be easier. Lots of walking and sex, if she's up to it.No castor oil, though. That stuff is nasty!

eta: Oh, and congrats! Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?

Also, I'm with the others who say please try to keep the thread light. This is all in fun, it's so obvious from the OP.

If you have quads, you can name them Asante, Kelley, Heath & Brady-boys or girls-the makings of an all-pro-line-up.

[QUOTE=Dank Franklin;768110]...on Superbowl Sunday? When we first found out she was pregnant, we were of course very happy! Then they gave us the expected due date, and my first reaction was: FEBRUARY 3rd?? Are you serious?? That's when the Pats will be playing for title number 4!!

Yeah, that was your thought that day. As if.

if it's a boy, I think you should call him nineteenandoh, if it's a girl - ladainian.

First of all....you are acting like it is YOUR responsibility.....no my friend...it is your WIFE's responsibility to hold off the little charmer until an appropriate time....

It takes two to tango so don't let your wife escape her responsibilities!!!

In another vein....congragtulations and I hope it all works out well....

That's when the Pats will be playing for title number 4!! So naturally we hit up training camp knowing it would be our last trip there for a couple years, and my wife managed to get Tom Brady's autograph on one of his daily post-practice "drive-by" signings. So we were convinced this would be a special season...and even more so that the Pats would be playing on Feb 3, 2008.

So now the time draws nigh, and the baby has "dropped down". So the birth is imminent. The delivery room does have a small tv, but something tells me we'll be a tad bit distracted if we're watching the game on that set.

So does anyone have any incantations for me? Or know of any beads we can wear, or anything else we can use to ward off the stork until AFTER Feb 3??

Please keep us in your thoughts fellow Patriots fans! Help us ward off the stork with your Superbowl vibes!

seeing as nobody has given you a serious answer yet, i'll give you some real advice.
sex is one of the best ways of inducing labor. so either have tons of sex before the superbowl in hopes of an early labor, or do not have sex at all. either way, do not have sex the day of the superbowl, as this could bring labor.
also, if she has yet to go into labor on superbowl sunday, make sure that you do EVERYTHING around the house. be sure that she drinks plenty of water and good food. make her relax and do nothing all day. that will help keep the baby at bay.
besides that, there isnt much you can do.

He should be doing everything around the house now anyway. A week before I gave birth I know my husband sure as hell was.
