Everyone has an opinion

On when they think the babies will come.

My dad thinks it will happen tomorrow (Thursday) because he's taking Noah to see the Cardinals. Not so sure what the connection is between labor and the Cardinals but that's his opinion.

My mom thinks it will happen on Friday because it's August 8th (8/8/08) and the number 8 is lucky in Asian cultures.

My colleagues thinks it will happen on Monday, August 11. Why? Because they "like" the date.

Right now I am feeling the same anxiety I felt when I was pregnant with Noah. Every week I would go to the doctor thinking labor was "imminent" because I was dilating and then I end up disappointed when nothing would happen. Mind you, I started dilating at 36 weeks and Noah was born 5 weeks later. Babies come when they want, not the other way around.

Every pain, every twinge, every muscle stretched. . .makes me think I could be going into labor. And I hate this feeling. The longer the babies are inside of me the better off they are. I know that. But I am ready to be done. I want to meet them, and move on.
