March 30th is our due date...Not March 27th.
At Monday's appointment, our doctor mentioned that the due date is March 30th. March 30th?!? I looked at mom in bewilderment. From our ultrasound appointment at 20 weeks, we were told the due date moved up three days to March 27th. Bamboozled!
FYI- the ultrasound technician takes measurements of the baby and determines the due date based on the results. The original due date is based on the date of the mom's last period.
After being misled for nearly 20 weeks, I asked the doctor how and why did the due date move back to the original due date and not the date given after the ultrasound?
She replied that you should never, ever go by the ultrasound date except when the difference in days from the original date given and the ultrasound date are greater than 5 days. Since the difference is only three days, we have to remain with the original date given, March 30th.
So, Mondays are once again the new change in weeks. Today, we are 3 days into week 38.

Ahhh... I thought you should stick with March 30th all along (our original date for Christie's arrival was 12/3... the doc made the switch to 11/27, and she came 12/5. Going with our original date she was just 2 days late, instead of 8!!). Best to keep the later date in your head.
This sweet baby will choose its own day/time to 'make an entrance'... all we can do is wait! (at least now we've got games to watch as a 'diversion'!)
Love, Grandma Barb
This just makes it more likely that Matt is going to have to share his birthday with baby. This is my dream come true. March 29 here we come
^ HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I <3 it. March 29th! I'll take it, if the 27th doesn't happen. Ha!
