Baby on my mind

I have baby brain. I think about them a lot. I also have "Baydar" - I can tell when there is a little one within 100 yards of me, and when I do actually see the baby I ooohhh and ahhh like there is no tomorrow. A friend of ours just told us that they found out today that they are having a little girl. They are about 6 weeks ahead of us and I'm jealous :) I constantly flash forward to like a year from now - "next year at this time...". I would guess that thinking about a year from now and what might or might not happen kind of prepares you for the changes that will take place in our life.

It's also kind of weird because we have run into what could be our first "scheduling conflict" because of the baby. Friends of ours are getting married this summer. It looks like the date could be August 11th or 12th (I forget which). Regardless, that is exactly 1 week after my due date. Now lets just pretend I give birth on my due date - am I going to be able (or WANT) to get to a wedding 7-8 days later. If I go early, it probably won't be much of an issue. If I am late - FORGET IT! I am now one for ruining another girls wedding day because I am going into labor and need to rush out of the church to get myself to a hospital. I am also not one for sitting through a wedding, a week overdue, and roughly 2 times the size of a house. We were with these friends last night and we were laughing about what could happen - they have said they don't mind us bringing the baby - if that can work out. So, when we get the invitation I guess our response will be:
"Maybe 2 and a baby - depending on when said baby decides to grace us with his/her presence - if there is no baby at that point it will have to be a cold day in hell to get me to the wedding - if the baby is only a week old - It might depend if we have a good baby or a crying baby - we just don't know, but wish you lots of luck regardless".
