Not sure if I believe in due dates but mine is now set for May 4. I had an ultrasound today and the baby is really active. I already have a belly but I lost weight...strange!!!!

I've got plenty of belly too and I've lost about 6 lbs! LOL Congrats, try not to pay too much attention to that due date though.

FWIW, I learned in nursing school that due dates are calculated based on the average woman's menstrual cycle length - so if you tend to go longer than the 28 day average cycle, your baby may take a little longer "in the oven" and if you tend to go shorter, the opposite is true. I think that's how it was anyway. due dates are for the birds though! they mess with your mind and I was SOOO disappointed to reach my due date and... no baby!

Yeah, I never "planned on" a baby on my due date. Good thing, DD was a week late! I really enjoy pregnancy though, and am sure Noah would have popped out late if they let him! ;-)

You new pgers are due close to Noah's bday...I love that life goes on...the cycle continues, God is so good!

Blessings,
