I haven't blogged in a while, so I may as well right now.
I'm feeling kind of limbo-ish and grumpy at the moment. I woke up at 3 this morning with contractions and they stuck around, sometimes regular, sometimes just a general non-stop pain in my abdomen, until about a half an hour ago. And I'm so, so tired and uncomfortable and walking sucks and moving around sucks and I'm ready to be done now, but really I need to make it to Saturday at the very least, and really *really* I know I'm pretty unlikely to *not* go all the way to 40 weeks, but who knows.
And the computer is thisclose to dying an untimely death and it makes me want to just go ahead and buy a new one because *goingwithoutinternetisscary*, even though that would be *very unwise*, financially speaking, even if we get the cheapest desktop we can, and wouldn't that be stupid all on it's own, to get the cheapest desktop we can (and by that, I mean, the cheapest desktop there is) because then we will have a ....well, a cheap desktop?
Anyway, here's a fun game for you, in case I never get back to the internets. If you don't hear from me within one month, send help. This game is called, When Will We Have Our Baby? Here is some information to help you with your guess.
Firstly, the due date is May 9th. This due date has been calculated by me with help from the internet (useful little bugger, isn't it?), by knowing the approximate date of conception. Even though at the time I was not keeping track of anything with my own body and ovulation and whatnot, I'm still about 90-95% certain that this date is correct because of various little clues such as how dark the line was when I took my pregnancy test, at what point I hit various milestones, etc. If anything, it would be off by just a few days, being too early (meaning, I know when the deed was done, but I *could* have ovulated a few days afterward, still, I think May 9th is pretty dead on).
Secondly, Saren was born 10 days before my due date, Harper was born 2 days after, and Irina was born 2 days after. The day before Saren was born I jumped on a trampoline (not, like, really hard or anything!). I'm pretty sure Saren was meant to be born on the day she was born, as the date and time are exactly the same as the date and time my sister (who died at about 2 weeks old) was born, two years before me. We had agreed to give Saren her middle name (that of my sister) a few months before she was born.
All my children have been born either at the beginning of a month or in the middle. Saren's b-day is on the 15th, Harper's on the 2nd, and Irina's is on the 1st. I would tell you the days that they were born on, but I can't remember, and apparently I can no longer use google because my fricking computer has picked up some stupid program.... aaarrgh. Well, if you'd like to figure it out, Saren's was 8/15/97, Harper's was 7/2/00, and Irina's was 2/1/05 (that was a Tuesday, I can figure that one out from my archives).
ETA: Saren was born on a Friday, Harper was born on a Sunday (so was I!)
There is a full moon on May 9th.
Okay, bye.

Well, I still think it would be great fun for your baby to have Sam's birthday. Going 10 days past the due date is clearly not IMPOSSIBLE but it sure seems unlikely. So I vote for April 30, in the evening.
May 6. Or May 8. But definitely not May 7.
Wow - interesting about Saren's birth being the same date and time as your sister.
You're in the home stretch now. It really won't be much longer, even though it feels like it. In a couple of months, you'll have forgotten how you're feeling right now.
Go to the library or video store and rent a whole bunch of comedies! Or send Pat if you don't feel up to going. Maybe a little humour and distraction might help fill in some time.
:)
