Greetings from Week 39.  For the rare few people who haven't called, emailed, texted, or sent a message via Pony Express the past few days, there is not much new to report.

If you recall, last week we found out Melanie was dilated 1 cm and 50% effaced.  At today's visit, we're still around 1cm....  bummer.  On the positive side, he's dropped a little more and there's been some additional "softening."  So, for all of you who haven't voted in the Due Date Poll (don't forget), keep this new information in mind when casting your votes.

Changing the subject briefly, there appears to be some slight interest from a few in knowing the name.  Apparently these people don't think his name will be Baby Blackwell...

...and they're right.

With that said, we thought it would be fun to start putting some hints on the blog.  So, here are your hints:

  • He shares the same first name as a passenger on the Mayflower.
  • He also shares his first name with a successful NFL receiver.
  • The middle name is shared with a famous poet's first name.
  • The middle name is also shared with a famous NBA guard's last name.
Hopefully that helps settle it for everyone.  We were a little reluctant to just completely give away the name, but we thought you'd appreciate it.   :).   EDIT:  If you want to send us emails with your guesses, go ahead.  We'll post a follow up after he's born announcing any winners and how smart you are.
