Well since Kim had so much fun with her little blog when she had her baby I thought that I would do a little bit of copying! (That's what happens when you do so good at your writing it makes people want to copy:)
So, I went to the Dr. the other day and She told me I was 36 weeks and then checked me and said that it looked like my due date of January 9th was still on. I said "wait a minute I thought I was due on the 14th." She said no and that the ultrasound actually said the 4th of January. So after a couple of deep breaths, I went home. I called Aaron and told him and then we made a list (or should I say I did) of all the things we needed to get done now that we were a week a head of schedule.
Well I went to my next appointment and on Thursday and the Doc checked me again. She then reached for my chart and looked it over and then looked at me again. I said, " What??? She said "honey, you are dilated to a 1 and 50% effaced" I said "No way!" She laughed and asked a few more questions and told me to go home and rest. No long walks or lifting. Ha HA HAAAA! Does she not know what a procrastinator I am? I still don't have any Christmas shopping done, or baby stuff out of the boxes or the room put together or the bassinet out or...or... okay so nothing is done. Yeah right I can go home and rest. Plus the business isn't even close to letting me go on maternity leave (as if I ever got any in the past).
So after the little bit of freaking out I did in front of the Doctor she told me to try to keep the baby in there one more week. "Okay, but can't I keep it in there any longer? Say a month or 2 or 3?" I asked. She just grinned and told me to go home and bring my bag and my husband next Thursday.
For all those of you who are expecting wonderful thought out gift from the Povey's forget it. You are all getting gift cards and things I found online that do or don't guarantee a speedy delivery!
So in the spirit of making thinks a little interesting I too will offer a $20 gift card to the person who guesses the closest to the time and date this baby is born. With Lincoln I was started 3 days past my due date and with Sari I went into labor 3 days before my due date. In the last 2 pregnancies as soon as I started to dilate and efface it was only about a week later that I had the baby. So best of luck and if I have this baby before you all read it then I guess you are out of luck.
My guess:
I think that the doctor will keep me on Thursday and I will have it on Friday morning at 4:00am

Sorry....I still think it will be in January...hmm...lets say the first (a News Years Baby) at 10:57 am.....Good Luck!!
After analyzing the Chinese calendar, a few statitics that compared your previous due dates and acutal delivery dates and the suns rotation I came up with Friday morning at 2:27 am. And if you don't have it at that time, then you can consider our friendship off. :) Love ya!
well i would say the doctor is more ready, so if they said bring a bag friday it is....if appt. is in am then friday 1230am but if appt is later in the day i say...friday 750 am. nurses love deliveries at the change of shift!!!! Yaaaa good luck!!! I expect some fabulous delivery pictures :)ainslie
Well now I'm getting kinda excited and if miss jamie is correct not only will i be pissed that she got another certificate but if i have to wait after being told it will happen sooner then I am blaming it all on her!!! Unless I get the 1st baby of the year supply of diapers!! then I guess it will be okay.
