**JKayla** and **Tygr** , may everything smoothly lead up to your moment of stupendous joy. I can hardly imagine how bursting with happiness you will be once the baby has finally come out into the world. ---

P.S. Maybe if you put a slice of pizza and bowl of ice-cream just outside of your hoo-ha you can trick the baby into coming out on his/her own. ---

Well, the solution is very simple, really. Lay off the pizza and ice cream and start eating brussels sprouts and spinach, and she’ll be out of there like a flash. ---

And liver, **Geobabe**. Don’t forget about the liver. My mother tried Chinese food (or something that was oily and spicy) to get me out. I was due on the 11th of September and born something like three weeks later. ::wishin’, and hopin’ . . . :: ---

Back when I was in the Army, stationed in Korea, we had a pool going on a fellow soldier who was due to deliver on such and such a date. We divided days into AM and PM and set the boundaries as two weeks before and two weeks after, for a total pot of $48 dollars. Kid went three weeks past the due date, and mom was getting REALLY cranky, so we gave her and her husband the money. ---

I’m an idiot. I didn’t wish you and the coming child well. God bless you, all three of you, you will be included in my prayers tonight. ---

My Perfect Child[sup]TM[/sup] was about 10 days late. My water broke, my labor started, then stopped. They had to induce to get it done. By that time I didn’t care how they got her out - _I wanted her OUT!!_ She’s now 16 - I still want her out!! Well, in a coupla years, anyway. 😃 My bestest wishes to all of you. Take copious notes so you can induce guilt at an appropriate later time! ---

Both my kids were late. One was 17 days, the other was 15. Both born natural, larger than average (9.5 lbs and 11 lbs) and not a single stitch! Keep the faith, anything can happen…any time!! ---

I’m sending dozens of warm, happy, healthy thoughts your way, Tygr family. Best of luck from a c-section baby who showed up two weeks late and was frank breach to boot. 🙂 I guess I’ve always been difficult. ---

Oh, my. Well, well, well. Still no word. I’m sorry I didn’t post to this sooner; I’ve been having some 'puter issues. I know how concerned you’ve been for **Jkayla** and tygrlet, **Tygr**. As has already been said, even a c-section isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I, too, was a frank breech c-section cub, and look how I turned out. :eek: 😛 Both of our bearcubs were also c-section babies, and trust me, it didn’t hurt them a bit. **Luminousman** just turned 19, and **Bluebear** is 16, going on 20 she thinks. I do hope you finally quit eating the pizza and s’cream to encourage a quick entrance. 😉 Seriously, all the best to you and the girls. Please let us know as soon as you can, we’re all waiting with baited breath to hear. {{{{{{Tygr}}}}}} {{{{{{Jkayla}}}}}}\ {{{{{{oldest tygrcub}}}}}} {{{{{{newest tygrcub}}}}}} ---
