My due date is this Thursday. Yay!  This is exciting, BUT I never held that date up as the pinnacle of 'baby time' or anything.  All of this "due date" stuff is just supposition and guesses and estimates.  It could very well be another two weeks before this little one decides it's time.  What is really exciting is knowing that we don't have too much longer left.  I've mentioned before that average gestation for first babies is 41 weeks and 1 day, so, really, until Septemeber 24th rolls around, I shouldn't allow myself to feel impatient. 

What is funny, however, is that as we are now so close to finally meeting this little one, people start to think I'm in labor if I'm running late or take more than half a day to respond to an email for phone call, so I have to watch my lag time. ;)  And Dan has to start every phone conversation with, "No, we're not in labor yet".  haha
