So apparently babies like to do their own thing and have their own timetables. Here's how it's gone so far with the different pregnancies:
Kherington:
Calendar Due Date - April 24th
Ultrasound Due Date - May 4th
Desired Due Date - May 8th
Actual Birth - April 23rd
Baby #2:
Calendar Due Date - March 31st
Ultrasound Due Date - April 5th
Desired Due Date: March 30th
Actual Birth - ?
With Kherington I was ready for her to be late. Like 2 weeks late. That would have worked better with my work schedule back then. Instead, I ended up drafting emails the morning of (canceling client calls / getting people to cover for me at work) and telling Ryan that if I really was in labor when we got the hospital, he needed to press send. With Kherington I went to work like normal, had a normal dinner, went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night feeling slightly off so I took a bath. Then I couldn't fall asleep so I went upstairs...Ryan came upstairs and told me I was having contractions and we should probably think about going to the hospital (so I drafted the emails). I think she was born around 2pm. That means the whole process of starting to feel crappy to having her out was 12 hours max.
This time around my back has been aching for a couple weeks. Pretty much each night starting around 5pm I start feeling nausea. I go to bed and don't feel the best so I'm like, well, maybe tonight. Then I wake up in the morning and feel just fine (minus the one morning I spent throwing up...but I'm guessing that was more food related than pregnancy related). I'd have to say I liked pregnancy #1 much better.
So...we'll see when baby #2 decides to come. As of now it doesn't seem like he's in any rush.

Sounds similar to my labor. Every morning I would wake up a little surprised and disappointed that I was still in my bed and didn't have a baby yet. But it was great in the end. All the fake labor paid off and he was born in 2 1/2 hours from first contraction to arrival. Hope to hear your success story soon :o)
Sorry he isn't here yet! Can't wait to hear when he does get here!
