another set of birthday greetings

I keep getting behind with birthday greetings but this is just one late one and two on time ones so here we go ...

happy birthday wee (july 12) and to the two today - happy birthday dexie!!
and jei! both today, the 14th! woohoo ...
what went on in october that there are so many babies in july? must be something in the water over there in the philippines in october. oh well. just in case you guys wanted to know how they get the dates to EDD (estimated date of delivery) it's called Nagele's rule. they take the first day of the last menstrual period of the woman and then they - 3 months + 7 days - that gives them approximately the 40 weeks until the due date of the baby. then they confirm with ultrasound. you know what's pretty gross? it's pretty darn accurate (as this also approximates the date of conception) because my birthday is on september 10. one year i told my mom that i was just a late anniversary present (their anniversary is on september 2) then my mom said, "no, your dad's birthday" (his birthday is december 18) yuck - tmi. but, according to nagele's rule, it's pretty close. according to that one thing noreen posted a couple weeks ago about birthday dates, it was right on the money! again, tmi. anyway, happy weekend - i'll post again after i get ready.
