Use your intuition, people! Here’s the relevant information, tell me please! My official due date is 1/22. This is my 4th baby. The others came 3 days early, 6 days early, and 3 days late. No medical problems or complications. It’s a boy. Give me a date please! ---

Herman I already posted that! qts you can see it from this side… but when it’s almost time well it’s hard to see. You just want it to be done with it. That’s how I felt… though I was hoping Caterpie would hold on until _after_ Christmas ---
