Due Dates

It's hard to believe how quickly the past 7 months have gone by.  We are almost to 32 weeks-which for those of you not so hot with math, or a little unfamiliar with human gestation, means that we only have 8 weeks to go until our due date!  And since due dates are only a guestimate and most babies are born between 38 and 42 weeks, Landon COULD be here as soon as 6 weeks!

A little more info on Landon's due date- Based on conception and ovulation dates, I have his due date as June 4th. My doctor's guess and official in the record is June 1st.  His 20 week ultrasound dated him for June 6th (with an accuracy rate of +/- 4 days).

My mom is flying in late on the 2nd or early on the 3rd so regardless of statistics, dates, guesses and no matter how excited I am (and ready for a margarita), he's not allowed to show up before June 4th. 

My neice decided to make her debut almost 2 weeks early, and a week before Grandma Hayes could get there. So I keep telling Landon the pressure is on for him to just hang on and stay nice and comfy until my guess at his due date so his grandma can be there to be a part of his birth.  I'm also telling him that he's not allowed to get too comfy because his momma IS impatient (and IS ready for a margarita) and IS SOOO excited to see him!
Is it crazy for me to actually expect him to be here between late on June 3rd and June 7th- no earlier. no later. ;)



No matter what day he chooses for his birthday it's going to be SOON and Jason and I are beyond excited (beyond excited- we're scared, anxious, nervous and all that other normal stuff too).
