Almost NOBODY has their kid on the EXACT due date. Trust me. (Wife went into labor just after an ugly 28-21 win over the Lions last year on Dec. 3rd and my son was born on the 4th. She was due on the 2nd)
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.
