Is it time?
It's... close. Could be hours... could be days... doubt it's going to be more than a week, but it could also be that. Lots of signs, though, and waiting uncertainly is driving me crazy.
Well it's not secret, that's for sure.[DOUBLEPOST=1354319205][/DOUBLEPOST]
Distraction!
Is that...a quaternary clock?
What is the time scale on the fastest hand? A quarter second?
In order, from right to left, the time it takes to complete a revolution is (in seconds)
960 240 64 16 4 1
Each image has four frames, so the one on the right is 25mS per frame. The next one on the right would have had to be 6mS per frame which is faster than most browsers like.
So you can think of the first two as the minutes, and the last three as the seconds. It's not an ideal quaternary clock, and I only stopped at 960 because you can't have more than 256 seconds per frame in an animated gif (240 seconds times four frames). I could have fudged it with multiple similar frames, but I wasn't too keen on the minute/second separation anyway - it would have been better if I kept it as a strict quaternary clock.
He has to put on a good show. How bad would that kid feel when he finds this forum in 20 years only to discover his father was completely nonchalant about the birth? "Here we go again," alternate universe stienman wrote in the Whine thread, "I have to act like 'oh miracle of life', and 'new child to love' and oh no, all the 'learning' and everyone with their 'oh that's a fun age!' comments, damn you, trust me, it was fun once, now it's all poopy diapers and sleeplessness! Oh yes, whoo-hoo, so much excitement, so much anxiety."

There DOES come a point when you HAVE to call them on their bullshit.... but to do so would mean instant death from pregnancy hormones.
My husband told me I "nested" for 8 months while I was pregnant with my daughter. Of course, he only mentioned it when the baby was already a few months old. LOL
Oh, my wife made no secret that she knew she was "nesting." Except for the handful of times she INSISTED sh was simply doing cleaning that she'd meant to do for a while. In a room she'd never touched, nor really had any reason to go into...

But isn't that...suicide? Aren't you in the business of talking people out of that?
I moved furniture. I mean, I totally re did our living room in my 9th month of pregnancy.
Depends on the person.
So the Tuesday appointment went well, but various concerns have led them to schedule labor induction Friday at 38.5 weeks. So I get to trade my anxiety for an unknown date/time for the worries of complications associated with inducing labor. Things are progressing on their own, so it's not like starting from zero, and if we made a bell curve of all our gestation lengths, 38.5 would be at or near the median, so it's not particularly risky, but it's in my nature to worry about such things anyway.
So we'll probably have the baby by Friday night.
Guess I ought to seriously start thinking about names. My wife's been bugging me to help her with names for months now...

Geez, women...
What, she didn't like "Numero Ocho" or "Next"?
I've always been a fan of "Hey, you"
And, since it's not a secret, and perhaps it will satisfy someone's curiosity, the reasons for inducing labor include:
- Gestational diabetes, which leads to big babies, and a deteriorating placenta, which leads to low amniotic fluid
- Strep B, which requires 4 hours of antibiotics immediately prior to birth, coupled with our typically fast deliveries (we've delivered a few of our kids within 2 hours of going to the hospital, and one within 20 minutes of arriving)
- Signs of early labor suggesting that it won't be more than a week until it happens naturally
