Due Date

After months and months of anticipation, my due date is finally here, and.... I'm still pregnant. I'm very uncomfortable, very anxious, and it looks like the first days of my maternity leave will be more like "puppy-momma leave." I've had a few bouts of "false labor," for hours at a time even, but it's just not going anywhere.

New theory: My dad was in the Navy and out to sea on an aircraft carrier when I was born. He didn't see me until I was 3 months old. My dad is scheduled to leave on a business trip to Germany on Friday. If he wasn't here for my birth, he certainly won't be here for Ellie's. Therefore, the latest due date theory is that she will be born on Friday, as soon as my dad's flight takes off, and Laura will win the baby pool.

But can I possibly make it 4 more days without losing my mind?!
