Update

It appears that since this baby has decided to make itself comfortable in my womb until the turn of the new century the only two people who have a gleam of hope for winning the baby pool are Jay and Rich Oosterhoff. Thanks to the rest of you who gave it a go, but the baby is obviously more than willing to take its sweet time. Definitely a Legg baby.

You know, it isn't fair. When you have your babies is supposed to be strongly correlated to genetics: if your mother or relatives are inclined to have their babies early or late you will likely be predisposed that way as well. Well, not only did my mom have me ten days early, but all the women on both my mom and dad's sides had their first either on the due date or early. The latest was only one day past her due date. So why me? Anyhow, just ranting. I really don't want to have to be induced next week so if you could keep that in your prayers....

Back to waiting.

The BLT: The Non-Depraved Sandwich?

Apparently, Locke Street Bakery is renowned for its BLT bagel which has a reputation for inducing labour in multiple women. I would like to think that this is because bacon, as I have discussed with numerous friends, is the food of the New Earth. Has it escaped the fallenness that the rest of creation is inevitably tainted by? I wonder. It is creationally normative to long for bacon and, therefore, children in utero long to be part of the world of bacon consumption. This is why the BLT induces labour; this is why I ate one today.
