how pregnant is psocoptera? soooo pregnant!

...yeah, that's about all I got. It turns out I'm even slightly more pregnant than I thought in that the midwives think my due date is two days earlier than I do - this is really only relevant in that it means my cutoff for induction is two days earlier if I don't go into labor spontaneously, and I hope not to run out that clock in any case. Not that I'm anywhere near frustrated yet - I told the meeple a long long time ago that if it would stick around for the long haul, I would happily go to 41 weeks with it (=due date + 1 week). It has done a terrific, beautiful job of hanging in there and growing itself, so it's welcome to stay put until April Fools' Day (one of my two guesses for a possible birthday; the other, St. Patrick's, has been ruled out, as I seem to have failed to take after my mother and go into labor exactly one week before my due date.) I guess technically with this due date revision thing I could get impatient on 30 March, but that seems a little ungenerous given what a good meeple it has been. (Although the thing where the joints of my pelvis now ache continuously, I would not be real happy about that if it wasn't part of the meeple launch process.)

More pregnant than I've ever been, and now I'm even moreso. And now I'm even moreso. (It's filling up my torso...)

I'm impressed they cared about a 2-day shift. Jazz's ultrasound moved his two days, and they said they wouldn't change anything "official" unless it was a difference of two weeks. I pointed out they could have skipped the ultrasound then, since two weeks earlier would have put concetion before the last period, and two weeks later would have put it after the positive home pregnancy test.

I'm voting for false labor on April Fool's Day, just to be cute...

Ah, no, I think it's not a shift in my due date as much as a small administrative mismatch - I've been using a date I calculated from having been charting (I think... I don't even recall exactly now where I came up with that date) and they must have calculated it slightly differently. I think my due date has always been the 23rd in their records and I just never picked up on it before. Like you say, it hardly matters (except for this question of exactly when the induction deadline would fall.)

Huh. I'd been thinking that your due date was the 23rd, until I talked with mom and she "corrected" me and told me it was the 25th.

I'm definitely thinking of you, and hope everything goes smoothly!
