More and more people keep saying things like, “any day now” or “are you still pregnant?”  I hate hearing this kind of comment and I promptly tell people, “nope, not any day, four more weeks actually!”  I try to remind people that I am not due for another month, because I hope it will discourage them from continuing to make these kind of comments.

I realize my belly looks big and people are probably just trying to connect with me by acknowledging my pregnancy.  However, it does not bless me to constantly be reminded how big I am.  In just one week I will be full term (37 weeks).  From that point on, I could technically deliver at any time.  BUT, I don’t want to start thinking Nolan will be here in a week.  I have seen this before with friends.  They were just sure that they would deliver early and it made the last several weeks of pregnancy frustrating.  In fact, both friends that I’m thinking of, ended up delivering late.  Statistically speaking, since this is my first baby, it is more likely I will be late.

So, I am going to plan on Nolan coming at or past his due date.  I have another month of pregnancy and I am going to keep reminding people of that.  If he does come early, all the better!

On a happy side note, only three days of work left and then I have GOT to organize and prepare Nolan’s room!  I can’t wait!

Ironically, my friend sent me this article today about why our Estimated Due Date (EDD) is hardly ever correct.
