I've been pondering a lot lately about when exactly this baby is going to arrive, and I started to compare my current situation to the circumstances surrounding Annie's arrival. So here are some comparisons and predictions about when this little guy is going to show his face:
Doctor due date vs. Actual due date vs. Actual birth date:
Anne was "due" September 28, really due October 4, born October 5
Boy is "due" August 20, really due August 24, so will be born August 25
Number of days from the you-know-what to the "Hello, baby!":
Anne: 265
Boy: if he gets to 265, it will be on August 23
Days between interviewing subs for work and birth of child:
Anne: 1 week
Boy: would arrive 1 week from today, August 19
Date given at 20-week ultrasound (after measuring bones and what-not):
Anne: October 4, born October 5
Boy: August 24, born August 25?
Remember, Anne was considered 1 week overdue, and that is a no-no in our hospital's policy, so we had a 38-hour induction/labor/delivery to get our baby born at exactly 40 weeks and 1 day. So if it gets to be August 27th and this baby has not arrived, we'll do it all again. I may try to convince the doctor to wait until the 31st (the 24th plus one week), but they don't listen extremely well (and that's a whole 'nother post...) So at most, we are looking at 2 and a half more weeks, which seems like a god-awful eternity right now, but will seem short in retrospect when I'm here with two kids trying to juggle it all!
Come out, baby! We want to meet you now.
