...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!! 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!

Is it a boy or a girl? This is crucial. If it's a boy, just get up real close and explain the situation. He'll understand and either come early or hang loose for an extra day or two. If it's a girl, all bets are off and you might want to schedule a caesarean.

Man, I'm in the same dillema as you... My wife's not due until the 10th, but our baby is "oversized" so she's ready to pop any time now.

Ever since NE started making a real run at perfection, all my friends have started insinuating that my son will be born on SB sunday...

Sorry I can't be of any help with your problem, but though it's only January I'd like to nominate this as a potential thread of the year.

Well, buddy, it looks like you're gonna have to step up big time. You have to give her complete rest. You have to do EVERYTHING around the house for the next week. Then with any luck, she will go into labor as a result of all the excitement from celebrating during the closing seconds of the game. What better scenario is there? Seriously, though, there's really not much you can do. Your baby is on their own clock. Good luck!

Try Castor oil maybe she'll have it early.

You've got a week to go - I'd focus on helping to get that baby out.

And there are certainly ways to help that process.

Probably the most effective is exactly what got the baby in there in the first place.

Dude it will be the miracle baby if it is born that day. Imagine: the greatest day of your life--Pats go 19-0 and your baby is born!

So when in the future you kid asks "What is the favorite day of your life" you can say, with all honesty, "The day you were born."

The difference is that Brady calmly calls audibles while Manning flaps like a chicken, barks 11 code words, and makes sure every camera in the stadium has documented his once-in-a-generation (and patented, I believe) ability to see a defensive formation and change the play. Both have the same effect, but Manning transcends measurable human intellect while Brady merely chooses a different play.
