When Will Alien Arrive?

Now that we are nearing the homestretch with Alien, we thought we'd let people take some guesses as to when the little guy will arrive. I'm sure you all noticed the huge calendar at the top of the page. If you want to guess when Alien will make his big debut, post a comment here with your name and date. Every few days we will add names to the calendar. For reference, Alien is officially due October 11th. At our 20 week sonogram they confirmed his due date within 1 day of accuracy. Since he is a second baby and Noelle was already pretty big, my midwife will check everything at my 38 week appointment on September 30th and strip my membranes to attempt to encourage him to arrive a bit early. And if you have been following along since our first pregnancy, you may recall Noelle was born between her original due date of August 4th and her modified date based on her measurements at the 20 week ultrasound of August 18th on the morning of the 16th. Since I am healthy as long as the baby is doing ok, our midwife will let me go to 41 weeks before scheduling an induction.

So that's the info - get guessing! I'm going with October 7th!
