Baby math

Anyone else doing a little baby math to grasp how long there is left to go? My mind wanders... One month if i go by my calculated due date. Ultrasound due date is sooner & DD showed up early so it could be 3 weeks or less. Counting in days rather than weeks is kind of satisfying, but what date to count from? I notice expiration dates on food to put it into perspective... longer than milk, shorter than chips.

I get asked 10 times a day how much longer & it's a combo of discomfort, anxiety & excitement that i feel like i want some control over it even though it does me no good at all!

  • Because my c-section is scheduled he will be here no later than Sept. 9th. I'm hoping no earlier! It makes me even more nervous to know that!

  • Bahaha, I thought I was the only one doing that with expiration dates.

    I've also been doing this with movie release dates for awhile.

  • I'm due the same week many of the fall tv shows are starting back up! The only foods I am close to are the non-perishables. Makes me sad. 7 weeks to go. :((

    I go by weeks from the due date. Six weeks is less nerve wracking to me than going by days (not by much though). However, I always throw in the caveat that it's really up to her when she wants to come out. I know I can't really control it, so I refuse to let myself freak out over something I have no say in; I just try to be as prepared as possible. Seems like everyone was asking me how much longer yesterday. I guess I need to get out more, lol.
  • I spend the majority of my day looking at my calendar. As if it's going to magically change but I'm just all "yep, still just 33 weeks...."

  • I still have three weddings to shoot, so I am in no way counting down yet!

  • I still have 7 weeks to go, and I work every other weekend, so I have been counting down by how many working weekend's I have left.  Technically I have 3, but DH talked me into leaving a week before I am due, which means I've really only got 2 and a half of the weekends left.

    The idea of me going into labor at work I guess really freaks him out(I work alone at night, just me and sleeping clients so if I were to go into labor I'd have to remain at work until someone could come and relieve me.. hopefully really quickly haha)... and since I've been having a lot of BH when I come off of the long 12 hour shifts, he's ready for me to be done with them.
