So, I've been getting the question a lot lately, "When are you due?" It is actually a pretty loaded question. I have no idea when this baby is coming. Based on my last menstrual cycle, the doctor in Alabama had me pegged for the 26th of September, but my doctor here in Memphis, had it down for the 28th. HOWEVER, according to my last two ultrasounds, it's all up in the air. I had one ultrasound about 5-6 weeks ago in Alabama, and based on the baby's size, my estimated due date would have been September 16th. Then, I go to my doctor in Memphis (who delivered H&H, and I love him!) today, and my ultrasound results would have put my due date as September 10th. So, either I'm further along than we originally thought, or I'm having one big baby! He said that it's harder to pinpoint on 3rd trimester ultrasounds, there is usually a 3 week room for error. After some calculations and estimated guessing, my doctor has me down for September 16th as of now. That is only 6 weeks or so away - and I've barely gotten started getting things ready! I was waiting until we got settled in, but it's about time to get on the ball. I'm not sure about this guessing game, it's got me pretty nervous!
Oh - by the way - Hunter's birthday is September 20th - so it will be very interesting trying to plan a birthday party for him!

Sept 12th would be a good date!! That's Michael's bday.........
I am such a planner, so I know how you feel.
WOW! I would go insane if I didn't have a specific day to go by. My cycles are always off so my due date goes by the ultrasounds. Glad that everything is going well....you look great, by the way! I know I didn't look that good. :) Who is your OBGYN? Also, my blog just went private. I had some weirdos googling bad things to look at my girls. Email me your email address at 4mhblog@gmail.com and I'll add you to the list of readers.
September 23rd would be a good one. But having just had a baby, I would not wish that extra time on you if it isn't necessary. ;) You'll be ok with the party. Wish I was there, I would come help ya! Don't stress and take it easy while you can!!!!
You hit the 30 week mark..that is when everything starting hurting and falling part for me. Summer babies are not fun..I know you know that.
I like your planner fairy..CHAOS.
