A sense of what was to come?
Stephen, Kathlyn, and Andrew (birth minus 21 hours).
Originally, Andrew’s due date was April 26. However, about two weeks before the due date, both Kathlyn and I had a sense that we needed to be ready for anything. We spent the final days before Andrew’s birth putting the finishing touches on his room, sterilizing his bottles and pacifiers, and washing all the new clothes he received from friends and family. On April 16, we headed to Target for a “couples” photoshoot. Being a photography buff myself, our photo albums are filled with pictures of everyone but me, as I’m mostly behind the camera. We had decided that it would be nice to actually have a photo where both Kathlyn and I appeared. We took this photo right before noon on the 16th. About 12 hours later, we were at the hospital waiting to meet our son!

haha. Are you sure it wasn’t the bright flashes that induced the pregnancy?
I was trying to find pictures of myself too (for my friendster profile…) and could not find any good ones.

Bright lights can induce labor? Are you kidding? I’m off to Google land to see!

Err, I was just making things up…did you find anything on Google, though?

No – mostly the references were to the fact that a fetus in the womb will turn towards a bright light shining on a woman’s belly. The wedmd site also had the following: “Complications of preeclampsia can be worsened by bright lights, loud or constant noises, and fatigue.” (Preeclampsia = pregnancy induced hypertension).
There goes your wild theory!
