It's funny Liz, we're going with a later EDD based on a scan (6 extra days) because I have the opposite problem to you!
So yeah, officially 43 weeks is 1st of January!!!

[Tegam]

43weeks! Thats great to buy yourself that extra time. How are you really emotionally, coping or a bit of a mess right now? Is there anything we can do? maybe if we all wrote a note under our pillow for you?? Whats the next best date?

[onthefly]

I had a minor breakdown saturday morning, but put my big girl panties on I'm back to my usual patient, level self... for now. I think the hospital visit may test me, but DH will spend the day with me. And who knows, I might actually get this baby out before then... 48 hours you reckon?
There are birthdays today and wednesday in teh extended family, so mum reckons tomorrow is good, not that it really matters.
In our family & friends guessing pool only dad, DH and I remain - the most pessimistic ones I guess

[Liz]

Nawww marcellus... it's gotta happen one of these days... hang in there. Maybe start a project that HAS to be finished before bub comes... that's bound to make you go in to labour right in the middle of it... things always happen that way for me LOL. Yeah, we totally have the opposite problem with dates LOL. Altho I said today, this will probably be my 42 weeker :/

[Cassius2]

emotional breakdowns are good in the scheme of births lol! i had a major one the night before with Marta...gawd it was ugly

[onthefly]

Alright, I lied, I'm not ok today. DH is staying home to keep me company

[Arimeh]

and marc

Can you put on some funky music and have a dance around with your DH and your little man and just let it all hang out for a while and think of nothing but the awesome beat? I recommend Safety Dance (men without hats) I can NEVER stay still when that song is on and the kids just LOVE it
