It's getting more and more real, though I can't say it will really be real until it's actually happening. Our bags are packed and in the car. After a few hours of wrap-up on Monday I'm on maternity leave until a month after the baby's born or November 17th, whichever comes later. We have one last ultrasound on Wednesday to get another idea of her size since the doctor is worried she may be a tad big - we won't induce early or anything, but it's just to help inform any decisions we need to make the day-of.
I'VE decided I'm having the baby about a week early. Of course, I'm totally aware I might be completely wrong, but let me tell you how I came to this decision:
1) I am one of 5 girls in my church community who were pregnant and due the 2nd half of this year. So far the three that have come before me were all 7-9 days early, so assuming I follow this trend I will have the baby the 11th-13th of October.
2) The full moon is on the 14th, and I have been told by many a nurse that deliveries are more prevalent at that time.
3) According to my sister you are more likely to go into labor on a critical day of your biorhythms. I have a critical day on the 11th and between the 13th and 14th.
4) However, my cousin is getting married that weekend, and I wouldn't wish to interrupt the festivities or make my family miss it, so I'm aiming for the 13th. That way my parents also don't have to drive back home, they can just come up from Portland.
What do you think? =)
