Well, today should be the day. Funny, I don't feel any differently that I did yesterday. Since the day the doctor told me "your due date is May 10th" that day has been like I goal I have been trying to get to. In the beginning it felt so far away. I realized I had to flip several pages of the calendar to get to May 10th. Now it's here, and nothing. Granted the day isn't over yet, but I guess I just assumed that I would have some eerie feeling, or sign to tell me "today is the day you will go into labor". From speaking with women who have been through this before, I know that is a fantasy, but I thought maybe I would feel different. The frustrating part is how I have focused on this date, not really considering it could be up to a week beyond today.
Maybe it's designed this way to teach me patience, something you need as a parent. I just feel that since I have everything finally ready, we should just get this show on the road.
So, until further notice, I will continue my daily routine of, surfing the net, light house keeping, napping and answering calls about when is baby Atticus going to get here. Trust me friends when I say " I wish I knew".

Hey! Here's an idea for some music to take to the hospital - how about that old classic 'It's the end of the world as I know it...' : )
It will be the end of one world but a beginning of a new even better one! Trust me motherhood is the best thing to come along since we left P-town...
The due date feels like the Holy Grail but it's only an estimate, sweetie! Every baby ripens in his own time and it's rarely on the expected schedule. It's a good idea to get used to that :)
Looks like Atticus is already taking after his dad - who hung out in utero a bit past his due date. He also was well worth the wait...
For now - enjoy using two hands, eating when you're hungry, taking a shower for as long as you want, and sleeping!
I hope you don't pop. Really, Atticus wants to come out on the 16th, I am guessing around 10AM.:)
