I thought I had planned out everything. I had dealt with enough unplanned
things that I was determined to get my pregnancy right. I just never thought
about the due date. Not only did I not really do the math before we started,
but I also didn’t know to count nearly 10 months instead of the believed 9
months. My due date ended up being December 10th. And after recently
watching my friend reach two weeks past her due date before they finally
induced, I feared I would have a Christmas baby. Not bad for me - but kinda
crappy for him. I mean, who wants a birthday shared with Christmas? It
means less presents! well, I didn’t have a Christmas baby. Instead, I gave birth
the day before Thanksgiving, spending the holiday in the hospital. I never thought
much of it until the following year, when trying to organize a birthday as well
as make all the relatives happy by making all the holiday dinners. Plus, I have
noticed that I split presents still, often deciding on not buying something so that
I can give it for Christmas. But presents aside, I’m pretty happy with how it all
turned out. What better way that to show my thanks then to be grateful
that I was blessed with such an amazing son. Besides, there’s always the
day after Thanksgiving sales - now those are great for birthday present shopping!!
