That would be very cool. I would love to meet Little B in 10 days. I do still, however, think that meeting will occur a bit later. Call it "mother-to-be's intuition," but I think I have at least 2 more weeks left. Perhaps Little B will surprise both me and my doctor and be right on time....I guess anything could happen. If you look at the research, my "hunch" has even more validity. Only 5% of births occur on a baby's actual due date. 80% of babies are born between 2 weeks of their due date, with 35% of all babies being born between Week 40-41, and and the rest being evenly distributed between Wks 39-40 and Wks 41-42. Its like a little bell curve. I suppose this is why, from the very beginning, the magical due date that you meaure just about everything on, is referred to medically as your "EDD: Estimated Due Date." So, we'll wait to see where we end up.
Regardless of whether or not Little B will arrive in 10 days, today was a great day. My team at work threw a surprise baby shower today for me. I had no idea...in fact, when one of them asked me to "go on a walk with them" (which was their clever way of getting me into the conference room), I was a little concerned that something was terribly wrong with her. Boy, was I off. Turns out she's a fantastic actress. And, as I already knew, they're quite a thoughtful group. It was really nice of them-- especially with how busy work has been as of late. They had a "holiday theme" with their gift--- and Little B is going to be all decked out for Thanksgiving & Christmas...and winter in general. I can't wait to see him or her in them.
