The long rumored iPhone, born out of a relationship between Motorola and Apple, has finally been leaked. Insider The Mobile Music Blog has details plus pics. It’s so simple, it’s a wonder they’ve waited so long to finally get this product together. Pure Genious!

Eggplant, Do Your Thing!
So we are +1 and counting, and we’d really like to get this thing going. So, based on what we’ve heard, we decided to try making some eggplant for dinner last night. We made a simple roast of the eggplant with lots of garlic, but it didn’t seem to help. I think we may need to go the traditional parmesan route to get the correct effect. These rumours are all over the web – that eggplant is one way of naturally helping labor get moving. This page points out that it’s probably not the eggplant – more likely the basil and oregano. Most of these stories apparently stem from a restaurant right in our backyard – Scalini’s in Smyrna, Georgia. To date, more than 300 of the pregnant women customers who ordered their eggplant have given birth within 48 hours, and the restaurant dubs them the “eggplant babies.” If it doesn’t work in two days, the moms-to-be get a gift certificate for another meal.

Fugitive Baby
For the ‘this is not going to happen to us, right?’ category, CNN.com reports this morning on a woman who gave birth in her car at a gas station, then went on to drive herself to the hospital. Due to a mixup with the dispatch officers, police pulled the car over and ordered the mother out at gunpoint. When they saw the baby still attached by the umbilical cord, they got her to the hospital. Yikes!
And on a more personal note – no news on Baby Trotz. Today was to be the day, but no activity yet. A big storm blew threw Atlanta this morning, and we hoped that either (a) the powerful thunder brings on labor or (b) the lower atmospheric pressure helps things along. Or we can wait until tomorrow, when Amy’s cousin Miriam was born!
24 hours and counting!
Not too much to report. Amy is doing fine, but baby doesn’t seem to be in a hurry. It’s certainly cramped in there at this point – it’s clear that the baby tries to stretch out and pokes and prods Amy’s belly so hard that you can see/feel a foot/heel at times. We’re getting used to the fact that the baby is going to take its sweet time. My next task is implementing a countup script to replace the countdown clock at the top of the blog tomorrow.
