Deadlines

This may sound crazy but I love deadlines. Probably because I'm so competitive and it's one competition I can usually beat. Procrastination has never been one to motivate me, but give me a deadline and most of the time I'll get it done long before it's due so I win!

But here's the problem with having a baby. You don't know the 'deadline.' You have an approximate date that if all the stars line up, all the planets align, and everything is perfect in the world you will meet your deadline. And this only happens to 5% of all babies. What about the other 95%? It doesn't take a statistician to figure out that the odds are definitely NOT in my favor.

With all the preparation and craziness going on in our lives around August 3rd, this is one deadline I wouldn't mind being a few days late on.

(Although I bet as happy and excited as I'll be 9 months pregnant in 110 degree weather I won't be singing that tune in a couple of months!)
