How does 8-8-11 sound?

That date better sound good because that's when Child 2 is expected to be born.
Like Elise, Child 2's arrival likely will not be determined by surprise obstetrical whim. Rather, it's a scheduled C-section, and that's just fine considering the alternatives. 
Not knowing whether it's a boy or a girl leaves plenty of excitement -- and ample consternation over baby names. (That being said, I'm 99 percent convinced it's a boy, and have been since the beginning. My level of confidence probably means I'm wrong.)
For obvious reason we're preconditioned to think of a baby's arrival as unpredictable, so scheduling the birth of your child requires a bit of adjustment. But it was fine with Elise, and it's just fine this time around. Besides, it should be the best start to a Monday morning that I can remember.
