37 Weeks

Well folks, we've got us a full term baby!

I'm told that he could realistically come any day now, and that when he does, he's likely to thrive. Whew! I've waited exactly 37 weeks to hear that!

On one hand, I hear it, know that it could happen any time, and get all excited to have him. We finally started organizing the nursery, we have one more shower this weekend, and now it's just a waiting game. But then I also get all freaked out because I'm a planner and have no control over this! I just know my water will break at any moment in the middle of a very public place - which has been a fear of mine since day 1. Because then what do you do? Find a janitor and apologize? Run away? It may be overly dramatic, but in my head it happens just like it did in Coneheads where she floods the whole house. Yikes.

On the other hand, this is our first baby, and we were both firsts and pretty late. I was 8 days late. (I'm due on the day I was supposed to be born.. did I ever tell you that?) And they finally forced Dallas out after 10 days. So in my mind, I can see Severin staying put for the long haul too.

I really don't have an inkling on this one.

But in the meantime? Keep your phones charged!
