Ok, so the first ultrasound we got at the ER way back when estimated the ninja’s due date to be about 6-28

what a stinker!!! and a total Ninja!

So have a beer. One unit of alcohol will have basically zero effect.

Ok, I'd like to have a beer without worrying about stuff. ;)

[yrcomplacency]

I think the stress of worry is worse than one beer. Going off my OBs advice, "If you want a drink, have one. Not enough to get wasted or anything, but sure, you can have one sometimes."

Not that this matters now, but my doc actually recommended wine to me when I was having trouble eating. She was like "does it settle your stomach and make things a little easier to deal with? Then go ahead and have a glass."

If you're worried about things like booze affecting your breastmilk, or if you just wanna do SCIENCE, I recommend Milksense pads. You can use them to see whether you've still got booze in your system while nursing. OK, mostly, I recommend them for SCIENCE.

You just demanded that a ninja stop being sneaky. So I'm guessing you don't want him to enter the world using a flying kick and some flash powder?

[kar3ning]

I have a rule about no explosions near the lady bits, so if he uses flash powder, he's in big trouble. Smoke grenades could be cool though. ;)

I don't understand why Doctors and Nurses get obsessed with having an exact date, when they all know any date has a +/- of two weeks.

[kar3ning]

It matters to me! I just got my leave paperwork squared away-- I don't want to be sitting around the house doing nothing until possibly the end of July! *antsy*

[darknessorlight]

Haha, yeah, when you put it like that.

Fine then.

Why does the paper work insist on an exact date when due dates are naturally subject to being +/- two weeks? :-P

rhetorical answer...

Why does the paper work insist on an exact date when due dates are naturally subject to being +/- two weeks? :-P

I've put in for leave assuming a due date of 6-28, so I'm outta here two weeks before on 6-11. I'm technically on medical disability until the ninja is born, then the pregnancy leave/FMLA/vacation takes over.

But if the kid's actual due date is July 10, I have a decision to make-- suck it up and keep working for a few weeks longer, or stay on disability longer at a puny fraction of my paycheck. Both options suck.

(Of course after all this, he'll probably be born early. ;) )

Wonder where he's learning to be such a trouble maker... :-P

[kar3ning]

I blame his dad. ;)
