Well it's here. Lukas' due date. And he's a no show. I've been stood up. Well, I suppose I can't really say that for another 14+ hours. But as of now there's no indication that he's coming today. Although, I realize this can change at any minute. For all I know, I could be walking to the mailbox later today and have my water break. Or November 5 will come and go and I'll still be pregnant.
Right now I'm vacillating on whether or not I hope he comes today. On the one hand, I'm beyond ready to meet him. But I've also been battling this scratchy/sore throat for the past few days and I wouldn't mind a few more days to kick this before going into labor. In an effort to get over this ASAP, I'm working from home today, relaxing, drinking lots of tea and fluids and just trying to will this sickness away. I don't think I'm actually "sick" - I think it's just a side effect of the change in weather and the resulting dry air. And aside from the sore throat, I feel perfectly fine.
So it's really game on at any moment now. The Lukas' Birthday Poll giveaway is still going on since he hasn't been born yet - so feel free to add your guess by commenting on this post or the Giveaway post! There's free coffee in it for you!!!! And you know how I said that I had a date in mind as my guess, well, I still won't share what day it is, but it has not come and gone yet...
Well, my first due date guess was actually Nov. 10 --- Aunt Allison's birthday. However I didn't give that as my choice because I thought she might want to use that date. So I'm now saying Nov. 10. For your sake I hope I'm so wrong. Do you think Lukas' arrival is a statement on things to come? Shy little boy or very independent (I'll do it when I want to).
ReplyDeleteOr a beautiful combination of both. I'm so anxious to meet the little guy.
