Heather and Steve ~ August 31, 2003

This is the part of the pregnancy that no amount of reading can really prepare you for. The whole line in the sand of the EDD. Even though, in reality, most first time moms go late. It's still pressure- you're beyond the date. Your breakdown last night is totally normal and, I may add, reasonable. You've been told since minute one you'd have your boy at or around 6/17. It's now the 24th and still no go.Hang in there. One way or another you're almost done. You've done so well with this pregnancy, Heather. You're almost there!
