waiting for baby


so tomorrow is the official day... we've been waiting nine long months of punishing fatigue, crazy dietary requirements, sickness, mood swings and extra internal baggage and tomorrow is the first of the due dates. it wasn't until we entered the cult of pregnancy that i realised there was more than one due date. so tomorrow's is the one from the first "dating" ultrasound and is supposed to be the most accurate but so far this child is pretty stubbornly in utero and seemingly with no plans to enter the real world soon. we figure this will be typical behaviour from now on. the latest date would be the 30th which is what the doctor's magic cardboard wheel predicted so we may have a while yet but i think the human house is ready to evict its tenant. well, baby, we're waiting on you now, kid. We can't wait to meet you but give your poor mum a break and get out while we still love you.
