olive, in the baby form, will make her triumphant arrival next tuesday, november 25. after several weeks of slow dilation and olive shimmying down into the lower nether-regions of the birth canal, our doctor put forth the option to induce. although we’re not huge fans of the idea of being induced, christen would have had this thing removed through her belly button at this point.

so, make sure you check this blog and babybyrds.com on tuesday. i hope to get pics up as soon as possible. obviously, it will be somewhat difficult, but at very least, i may try to post a couple crappy iphone pics.

knowing the birthdate (or hopefully knowing…) is kind of weird, but it’s kind of good knowing when the end will be instead of living in perpetual suspense. i decided that since we know, i would take a quick look at who olive will share a birthday with. we have some mixed results…

1. barbara and jenna bush: hopefully olive’s father will be a little brighter than these girls’ father…

2. christina applegate: slutty bundy or hot anchorwoman?

3. amy grant: oh, how jesus will love olive (until she starts doing that devil secular music…)

4. john f. kennedy, jr: i’m gonna go out on a limb and say that olive’s daddy won’t ever be living in the white house…

5. john larroquette: the most famous television male slut of all time…

6. donovan mcnabb: while she could have professional football skills, i’m banking on her doing commercials for campbell’s chunky soup someday…

7. joe dimaggio: i would say that maybe olive will play for the yankees someday, but we all know that even jesus hates the yankees…
