seven instead of ten

We found out on Wednesday afternoon that we have a miscalculated due-date. Just by 3 days, though. So, we are still awaiting our baby girl. Numbers bounce around in my head: Manny was 10 days past due, Benici-8, Clara-1. Now we are 41 weeks, in 7 days, we won't be eligible for a homebirth.

We have been trying to stay steady on the roller coaster that these past weeks have been. So much for thinking that after three kids, you are an expert. Each day brings new discovery about how fundamentally we don't control our lives.
