It's Week 38, but for us it's really "Week Last One." Yes, Professor Goldblatt is scheduled to make her debut Wednesday morning. This Wednesday. The one coming up. The one in three days. Holy crap, what have we done?

Sorry, bit of nerves there for a second, but I'm all better now. Yeah, the impending reality of the good Prof. has me a little weirded out from time to time lately. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited to meet her, I'm just terrified of being a parent to more than one child. I've totally forgotten my baby skills now that I'm chasing a toddler, but I have been reassuringly told that it's like falling off a bike. Not the best analogy, I'll give you, but a true asession of the situation, I hope. You know, that it will all come back to me. Not much choice here, short of announcing to Overboard, "Okay, so I'll take the boy and you raise the girl and we can switch in a few years. Cool?"

So, anyhoo...in our final installment of "Goldblatt - En Utero" we learn that the Professor is roughly 6.8 lbs and about 19.5 inches long, or, (drumroll please) about the size of a leek. Her handshake is improving, as her ability to grasp is supposedly pretty good these days. Which is cool, since I'll be offering up my fingers to hold from the get go. Internally, her organs are all good to go, which is nice.

The baby info also tells me that if Goldblatt is born with brown eyes (like Kenny) they will most likely stay brown (like Kenny). However, if she's born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay that way or turn green, brown (like Overboard), or hazel (like me) by the time she's nine months old. That's been an interesting question we've been posing one another. After all, both Goldblatt's Grammy Shirley and Grandpa Alan have blue eyes, so you just never know what part of the family tree she's gonna swing from. So to speak.

We're also curious to see the many ways in which she and Kenny are similar and different. My money is on an opposite kid, as opposed to a female Kenny. I say this out of personal experience, not because I know anything. Just ask my parents and brother.

In these final days, I must give praise to Overboard for holding up so well, and shake my head at her for her willingness to go to work on Monday and Tuesday. She doesn't really want to, she just has that much to do. Me? I blew off work and took my paternity leave two days early so I can try and get our last minute baby and home improvement errands done. The house? Well, that's a blog post for another time...
