Predictions

We're all making predictions after my 39-week OB appointment yesterday. As of Wed, 6-25, I was 2-3 cm dilated. Due date is still 5 days away at July 1. But, as we all know, even the predictions of the best ultrasound techs and doctors can be off, so we started a little guessing game with our friends and family to see who will be right about when Baby Girl Maisch will make her appearance. Even Robbie got in on the action this morning. This was our conversation:

Me: Robbie, when do you think your baby sister will get here?

Robbie: July

Me: You know, she could come anyday now. She could come today, or tomorrow, or this weekend...

Robbie: or Tuesday

Me: You think she'll come on Tuesday?

Robbie: Yes.

Me: Okay. What will we name her?

Robbie: How 'bout Nicole?

So there you have it, folks. Our 4-year-old Nostradamus' prediction. (What got me the most is that he has no idea that Tuesday is the first day of July or my due date. He just pulled that one out on his own...as well as naming her Nicole, too.) Hee hee. ;) Of course, now Robbie has changed his mind back to "Lauren" for her name. Fickle.

Scottie says, "Maybe the baby will be Allie. I like Allie," and that she'll arrive "tomorrow."
