So we are having this baby tomorrow! Six weeks early. Send any spare positive vibes you've got. (I'm OK, he's OK, we're aiming to keep it that way, but it's still very stressful!)

Also send middle name suggestions, the wilder the better! We have a very normal back up option but I feel like we can do better.
