So, I am thinking of being mad at my doctor...last night in the middle of my sleepless tossing about, I remembered something. My original due date (based on menstrual cycle) was July 21, and my doctor changed it at 12 weeks based on the size the baby was measuring to one week earlier...well, duh, look at the genes this kid has, of course it is going to measure "big." So, if my real "due date" is this coming Tuesday, and this whole week I have had to answer a thousand questions, looks, and phone calls, as to why the baby hasn't come yet...well, then I am thinking about being mad at my doctor!!
Due dates...they are so arbitrary anyway, right?
On another note, I got to hold a newborn at a birthday party today...and wow, did I start to get the jitters again...as much as we want to meet our new little one...we are thoroughly enjoying this stage with Oak, so fun, so active, so independent, so responsive, just a big guy...and the thought of a completely helpless, although sweet as sugar, newborn scares Al and I a bit...but, look at the millions that have done it before us...we can make it, I know we will!!
Please keep praying and hoping for safe labor and delivery and a healthy new baby!

I was thinking the same thing when they changed your due date. Speaking of which, didnt that happen with Oak too? Either way, he/she will come when he/she is done cooking. I read somewhere that dr.s should give due weeks not due dates. Anyways, we are thinking about you all the time and I check your blog 8 times a day. thanks for posting an update. Cant wait to see your newest edition!
love the 40s
Hang in there Liz. YOU CAN DO IT! We'll keep you in our prayers.
I was thinking the same thing . . . of course a Carter is going to be a taller, bigger baby . . . I can only imagine how frustrating the wait must be . . . but we're thinking of you, praying for you, and yes, checking your blog a million times a day!
love,
the Leonards
Praying for you guys - esp. you, Liz. As soon as your little one is in your arms, you'll jump right back into newborn mode, no problem. :)
