Today has been pretty uneventful. No tests today. I slept in until 8:00, which was wonderful. Chloe was a sweet little angel. Overall, a nice day so far.
Melanie told me I should announce my official due date. That's kind of hard to say. On Tuesday, the sonogram tech estimated my due date to be October 12th. However, if Leyla were born on that day, that would mean I would have had a 42 week pregnancy. I don't know the exact date I got pregnant, but I do know the exact date of my last menstrual cycle, and I've taken enough biology courses to know when it is and when it is not possible to get pregnant. So, I'm sticking with the due date they gave me after my first sonogram: October 1st. Especially since if I don't go into labor before then, I'll be induced on that day. So, that's the official day.
I have a chemistry test tomorrow and a mammalogy test friday. I'm not too worried about the chem test. This is the third course I've taken from this professor, and his tests are very reasonable. I already know the mammalogy test is going to suck, but I'll do my best to prepare for it. Anyway, Melanie also expressed a little concern about my week of tests. She asked if I thought I would go into labor because of the tests. Honestly, I'd never even thought about that. I know there are people who have serious test anxiety and really freak out about tests. I'm just not one of those people. I'm just as relaxed right before taking a test as I am right now sitting in my living room and listening to music. I'm very fortunate in that way. Although sometimes that kind of backfires because sometimes I don't worry enough about tests, so I don't study as hard as I should. But I'd rather not stress myself out.
Well, I haven't checked out anyone else's blog today and I want to do that before I have to hit the books. Less than a week until I get to see Miguel!!

I wish I could just relax before tests. I usually manage to work myself into a state - which doesn't help a bit- the result being a hot, sweaty, frazzled. befuddled - well you get the picutre. Not exactly a beneficial frame of mind.
I would have to agree with the Oct. 1st due date. They changed my due date with you to a month earlier so I had to start goingin for the weekly checks a month earlier. Yeah, you were born right on the original due date. so, much for technology
thank goodness you a chill person. that's probably why we are so bff, i'm the same. i never studied enough but never stressed either. i feel so bad for people who get all worked up.
i'm glad to know your date now. i'm gonna mark my calender so i don't have to ask again.
two more concerns: is miguel scheduled to be with you in texas when you have the baby? and have you officialy decided on Leyla or is that what you are just calling her for now?
love you!
