Unofficial Bets

P. thinks Wednesday is a nice day to be born.

I think she won't arrive until the 8th or 9th.
So does my Mama.

My midwife warned me not to give birth right away, because the maternity ward of the hospital was rather busy on Thursday.

And none of us want her to be born on the due date (December 6th), because that's Saint Nicolas' birthday, which in fact is like celebrating your birthday on Christmas.

eta: And then there's the kid in school who said I'd go in on the evening of the 6th to give birth on the 7th.

I already know people who have birthdays on the 5th, 6th and 9th so I'm sort of rooting for the 8th. But you know, no pressure, take your time. :) This is so exciting!

It's not me who's taking her time. It's when the baby decides it's time. ;-)

It comes when it does, but right now I feel like I shouldn't be overdoing things. ;-)

Now I keep singing "The Final Countdown" in my head!

I have another friend whose baby is due to the 10th. Last Spring I had two friends who gave birth the same week too. You're all connected! ;- )

Just heard that my friend in question gave birth yesterday!

Congratulations to her.

Like I feel now, it can still take another ten days. :-)

The boyfriend is a Christkind, born on Christmas Eve, so he knows how it feels to get all his presents on the same day.

I'm not going to place a bet, but I think that you and your Mama probably know best!

Actually we are completely clueless, and are only guessing. ;-)
