April 29th...

I mentioned in an earlier post the significance of the date of April 28th, the day that we are planning to induce labor. Well at Debbie's last visit they made it sound like that inducing may not work immediately and the baby could be born Sunday.
So since I am awake right now watching Bill Moyer's excellent documentary on Frontline I pulled some info about the 29th of April, in case of that being his birthday.
Events:
1770 - James Cook arrives at and names Botany Bay, Australia.
1916 - Easter Rebellion: Martial law in Ireland is lifted and the rebellion is officially over with the surrender of Irish nationalists to British authorities in Dublin.
