EDDs are a Pain In The Butt!

 

Part of me wishes I lived 50 years ago when they didn’t give EDDs (estimated due dates).  I’m not even past my EDD yet and I’m feeling the pressure to have this baby.  What happens if I go past that date?  I have in the past gone as long as 2 weeks past my EDD.  My kids just need to “bake”a little longer.  I guess I should have just set my mind on September 1 to begin with and told everyone (and MYSELF) that date.  If I’d done that I’d be three weeks away still and then if I go early, I can be excited.

 

I think technology is great and we’ve come a long way in our medical understanding of the body and how everything works.  Sometimes, though, I think we need to just leave well enough alone!  On the other hand, I like knowing that my baby has fingers and toes at 12 weeks gestation.  I love marveling at the wonderful works of my Father in Heaven.

 

Tough to find a balance!
