#MostAnticipatedBabyEver

June 2
Hey Nugget, your sister's birthday is done, you've officially got the green light! #andnowwewait

June 3
Hey Nugget, some of my favorite people have birthdays today, wouldn't you like to share a birthday with Barb Beavan Stone or Robert Heasley?‪#‎anydaynow‬ ‪#‎thesoonerthebetter‬ ‪#‎nuggetunited‬

June 4
Hey, Nugget, it's a beautiful day to be born. Whaddya think? ‪#‎39weeks‬‪#‎cantwaittomeetyou‬ ‪#‎nuggetunited‬

June 5
Hey, Nugget, the birds are chirping, the sun is shining. What a beautiful day to be born! Doncha think? ‪#‎maybetoday‬ ‪#‎itsgottabecrampedinthere‬‪#‎nuggetunited‬

June 6
No imploring from me today, Nugget. It would be much easier for us logistically of you waited till Monday. ‪#‎notthatidcomplain‬ ‪#‎readywhenever‬

June 8
Hey, Nugget, my calendar is clear for you this whole week, any day now, little buddy. ‪#‎notlateyet‬ ‪#‎stillprettydonebeingpregnant‬

June 9
Hey Nugget, you're the only one who can make my birthday wish come true--a 3-day, all expenses-paid trip to Pennsylvania Hospital. Waddya say?‪#‎ijustwannacountyourtoes‬ ‪#‎comesayhi‬

June 10
Hey Nugget, it's not too late to still be "early." ‪#‎duetomorrow‬ ‪#‎theworldawaits‬

June 11
Hey Nugget, did you know that only about 4% of babies are born on their exact due date? How cool would it be if you were one of them? Just sayin'.‪#‎40weeks‬ ‪#‎stickaforkinmeimdone‬

June 12
I'm starting to think that maybe my unborn child isn't reading my Facebook statuses... ‪#‎40weeksplus1day‬ ‪#‎officiallylate‬‪#‎thankgoodnessfororangeisthenewblack‬

June 12 Take Two
2 weeks at home waiting and things are getting desperate. I just did some ironing. Only you can save me, Nugget.

June 13
The 13th? Nobody would want such an unlucky date for their birthday. Better stay put, Nugget. ‪#‎morereversepsychology‬ ‪#‎cantbepregnantforever‬

June 14
Look, Nugget, I know it's really scary to think about leaving the only place you've ever known, but it's the only way you'll get to meet us--your family. Your big sister has been waiting so patiently (your parents a bit less so). We've done everything we could to make your new home comfy and welcoming for you--and now it's time to take the plunge and join us.‪#‎cantwaittoholdyou‬ ‪#‎pleasecomesoon‬

June 15
Hey Nugget, at this rate, you won't even be a Gemini like your sister and I. What's up with that? ‪#‎dontmakemelearnanothersign‬ ‪#‎todayplease‬

June 16
Hey Nugget, thanks for letting me sleep in past 6am. Whaddya say we take advantage of how well-rested I am and get you born today? ‪#‎40plus4‬‪#‎thisisgettingridiculous‬

June 16 Take Two
For those who have been following along in our baby-awaiting adventure, I've just scheduled our 1-week overdue non-stress test for Thursday afternoon. Depending on how things look at that point, we may decide to go the induction route (which I've been working hard to avoid after our previous experience) or continue waiting. Thanks to all of those who have reached out to check in on us or to offer encouragement/distraction. I am taking comfort today in the sure knowledge that, despite an overwhelming feeling to the contrary, I WON'T be pregnant forever.

June 17
Seriously, Mr. Nuggers, if this goes on much longer you just might come out with a full beard like your daddy! ‪#‎newbornshavingkit‬ ‪#‎40plus6‬

Nope. ‪#‎41weeks‬ ‪#‎outofcleverhashtags‬

June 18 Take Two
The Saga Continues. Testing indicates that Nugget is happy and healthy and seems to have no immediate plans to vacate the premises. ‪#‎andsowewait‬‪#‎41weeksandcounting‬ ‪#‎datenightherewecome‬

Hey Nugget, I'm headed to a graduation ceremony today--what a perfect event to disrupt by making a splash (hint, hint). ‪#‎crashtheclassof2015‬‪#‎pompandcontractions‬ ‪#‎anotherwatermainbreakinphilly‬

nugget is here! ‪#‎betterlatethannever‬ ‪#‎27minutes‬

June 20: Take Two
The details: Elliot Franklin Stone arrived just in time to make my 6am Facebook deadline this morning, weighing in at 7 lb 3 oz and measuring 20 3/4" long. We're both healthy and doing fine. A special shout out to Tricia Purcell and Ashley Elizabeth who stayed with Hope during BOTH of our trips to the hospital. ‪#‎blogpostforthcoming‬ ‪#‎babyformerlyknownasnugget‬‪#‎andnowwesleep‬
