That Time I Convinced Myself the Baby was Coming Early

My first baby was due May 25th.

I was working as a massage therapist and I had chosen May 1st as my stop working date.

I thought, oh I will be so relaxed the baby will just come!

Then May 10th was my sister’s birthday, so I thought, oh maybe they will share a birthday.

Then May 13th was my father-in-laws birthday, so I thought, oh maybe they will share a birthday.

Then there was a full moon, so I thought, oh this weekend the baby will come.

Then May 25th came and went.

And another day, and another…another..another…and another…

I finally went into labor on May 30th and she was born 24 hrs later on May 31st.

She was not late. She just came 6 days after her estimated due date.
