Have you thought of names yet? I've always thought Oerdin was a good name. He isn't likely to run into to many other people with the same name.

For now, but it was 170/115 at one of those drug store machines last week.

For a girl I was thinking of Doreen Jill (the reasons are very complicated ). My wife was thinking of Colin for a boy (no middle name yet).

you have never read Orson Scott Card?

blood pressure can go up and down

if it is high for a long length of time, or if it is really high, or if you start to feel weak and have other symptoms, then you should go see a doctor (you can get a big heart, or a stroke)

We finally decided how we were going to break the news to the family. We ordered a sweatshirt for my youngest son (who just turned 2 last month) and we'll have him wear it on Christmas day. On the front it says: "Wow! I'm going to be a big brother!". I'd like to see how long it takes people to catch on at each place we visit.

Ender's Game? Not yet. Is it any good? (I'm reading David Weber's Honor Harrington series at the moment)

I'm not too concerned. Those drug store machines are notoriously inaccurate and I'm usually in the normal range in a doctor's office.

Card has a series (the Maker one) which is about the 7th son of a 7th son of a 7th son

because that son is a sorceror

If you were Greek, I' d reccomend you to open up a restoraunt, called the "7 brothers tavern".

Really, with so big a workforce in your family, running a family business would be ideal.

I believe it's just 7th of a 7th. Alvin Maker (principle character) was the 7th son of his father, who was a 7th son. Alvin Maker has the 'knack' of shaping (manipulating, molding) all matter.

I was thinking of Pratchett's Sorcery, wherein a wizard (7th of a 7th) (illegally) has seven sons.

you are right, it is in Pratchett as well (and I have read that much more recently, why didn't I remember?)

You didn't remember, because the "Suorcerer" was the 8th, son of an 8th son of an 8th son. In the Discworld, the magic number is 8, not 7.

I'm just glad the magic number isn't 6. A 6-6-6 doesn't sound good either.
