Well today is the "big due date" as was given to me last summer, however still no baby. They say that only 5% are born on the D Day anyway, so I don't even know why we make such a big deal about the due date. Maybe it's because we like the anticipation and just need a specific date to look forward to? Anyway I'm realizing that my due date is really just a random day smack dab in the middle of all of the other days that our baby could come. Makes me wish I wasn't SOO excited to reach this day. It is a landmark however, keeps me on my toes and now that it is passing I know that the baby really is coming SOON. They say that around 50% of babies are born before the due date and 50% after. Well now that I've passed that mark I figure I'm now at a 100% chance of her coming any time! :)
I have my 40 week appointment in an hour and so hopefully my midwife will have some good information for me. In the end, however, no matter what the midwife might say, the body is the ultimate one to decide WHEN labor will begin. We'll keep you posted. Have a good day!

Aaaaah, I'm so excited for you! Hang in there, dear!
If you could just wait another week, I'll come pace around with you during labor! Just kidding. You don't have to wait for me!
I JUST SAW MY BEAUTIFUL NEW NIECE! Only 2 days past due. Good for you. Can't wait to hear all about it.
