Since my due date or dates are completely messed, we really have no clue as to when this baby is due... but I am sticking with my "Vegas dates" and going with July 14th, because it's what makes the most sense!
We had a bit of a mix up back in October. I peed on a stick, the stick showed two lines, so we went out and bought another stick to pee on just to be sure. The next morning I peed on the new stick, one line... WTF! So I went to the doctor, my two line stick in hand (or purse), to find out what was going on! His test was negative as well, but he said that my test was clearly positive, so I should wait a few days and test again. That night (TMI Warning) I got what I thought was my AF (Aunt Flo, no relation to Gord's Aunty Flo since we like her...), so I didn`t bother to test again. Anyways, my AF lasted only 2 days and was very light, but I put it out of my mind and went on with things.
The following month I got another positive test, I got 3 actually!
My doctor (and I) determined my due date to be August 6th.
A few months later, while my doctor was measuring my belly, she noticed that I was measuring bigger then I should be. Meaning I might be further along then we initially thought.... or I was having TWINS!!! Yikes! hmmm... I think (hope) further along!
She decided to send me for a dating Ultrasound. Unfortunately, dating ultrasounds are only accurate in the beginning of pregnancy, I believe it`s before 10 weeks gestation and I was 17 (or 20) weeks along.
In calculating my dates, I determined that if I had actually been pregnant in October, my due date would have been July 14th. However, the ultrasound calculated my due date at July 21st.
For those who don`t want to do the math, that`s a week difference!
So we have 3 potential due dates: August 6th, July 21st and July 14th. The doctor has stuck with the Ultrasound prediction of July 21st, so technically I wont be considered overdue until after that date. But to be honest July 21st makes no sense as far as "timing" goes...
So I guess time will tell... and in the grand scheme of things, due dates really don`t mean much, but it is nice to have something to count down to!

Baby Tubbins in 3D
Since we basically had a repeat performance last night of the night before we have no new news on the labour/delivery front, so I thought I would share some 3D pictures of baby Tubbins taken when I was 28 weeks!

Baby Tubbins first photo shoot
The first time we saw baby Tubbins I was 17 weeks along... the tech and my doctor ended up changing my due date after this ultrasound because Tubbins was measuring 2-3 weeks ahead, making me 19-20 weeks!
The tech estimated my due date as July 21st, but if you ask me I think it’s somewhere between the 14th and the 19th! Time will tell!
Here are a few pictures of baby Tubbins from our first ultrasound!
