If you like surprises, have a baby! Sure, the 8 and a half months can be predictable, but then there's those last few weeks.... Will he come early? Will he come late? He is sitting lower in my pelvis and my plug fell out (hey, it happens), shouldn't that mean something? Shouldn't they be able to tell me some kind of definitive date once these type of events take place? Hmmm, not quite. "Anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks" seems to be the most popular answer. Satisfying? I think not!
It gets a bit draining to go to bed every night wondering if I will be waking up at some odd hour with contractions, can we say "nerve racking"?!! You know the saying "A watched pot never boils"? And so I've decided not to think about it...but that's like ignoring the elephant in the room. Which is pretty hard considering the "elephant" happens to be attached to me! No, I am not calling my sweet sweet baby an elephant, but sometimes I certainly feel like one!
Anyway, our own little Johnny will be coming soon, that much we know. So we might as well have a little fun while we wait! For those of you who aren't aware, a guessing game has developed! Here are the guesses we have so far for the big arrival day: Stephanie Woolf -5th (yes, tomorrow!), James Woolf -7th (that's a good one too!), John (the cutest dad in the world!) -10th, Grandma Empie -11th (that's her birthday), Grandma Woolf -14th, Grandpa Woolf -15th, me -17th (but I want to change! I keep thinking the 9th!), Lindsey Empie -22nd (ouch!).
We still have space for guesses! But you better hurry! Just so you know there might be a yummy cake in it for the one who wins! Mmmmm, cake!
Happy guessing people! I'm off to rest my bones. If Stephanie is right, I'll need all the rest I can get! :)

No baby yet! Sorry Steph, no cake for you! :) I'm logging in a guess for my sister Angie in Tennessee, she says the 15th - tax day!
That's ok, cake is probably the last thing I should be eating :) We are keeping our fingers crossed for you! Here he comes!! :)
Hmmm... I'm going to guess the 18th. I'm just wondering how you'll get the cake to me when I'm right!
lol by photo ;) I'll eat it for you :D
Jamie-
We're so excited for you and John, and we love your blog. It's great to be able to read updates and so on about how you are and especially with this new adventure you're about to experience.
So, if the baby hasn't already come, I'm guessing the 16th.
Everyone did a guessing game for me too, and I don't think anyone was right because she was a week late and would've been later, but they induced me (thank goodness otherwise who knows how big she would've been).
We can't wait to hear the news!
Love, Ellie
