Baby Pool

Posted by Katie on

So I know sometimes a fun tradition to do with the birth of a baby is to start a baby pool predicting when the baby is going to make its presence into the world.  I work with a bunch of men who like to bet on anything that they can, so I am just waiting for this to happen.

I am making the prediction right now.  I am going early.  I know, I know every first time mother thinks they are going early.  I am not wishing to go early, although the further and further I get along in the pregnancy, the more EXCITED I am to meet this kid!  I really would be more than happy to give birth to this baby on March 1st...appropriately Justin Bieber's birthday.  My hunch comes from the fact that this kid is constantly moving.  I have been feeling the baby since my 14th week.  Everyone told me I was crazy, but now that I actually know what it feels like, I know that is what I was feeling!  So essentially I have one heck of an active baby, which tells me this kid is not going to want to hang out the full 40 weeks.  I truly think I am we are going to have our hands full with this one...oh dear sweet karma.

So here is another question, at what point do I start carrying a piddle pad around with me?  Heaven forbid my water breaks in my husbands car- that truly will be devastating to him.  Or the fact that Otis and I share a desk chair- I would not wish that on anyone.  Am I going to look crazy carrying around one of those things when I still have a month before the baby is due?  What did you ladies do?  Or did you just say hey, its a part of life, it happens when it happens...deal with it :)
