'Three Weeks' or 'Any Day Now'

Today is the earliest of the various due dates we’ve been given, and while we don’t think the baby is actually coming today (knock on wood), we certainly are entering the period where our cell phones need to be charged and at the ready at all times. The doctor has assured us (if you can call it that) that due date from the first sonogram is the most reliable, and that due date was consistent with our Naegele's rule due date of August 16th. She says that that the earlier due dates the sonogram technicians have given us are more of an indication that the baby is big than anything else, and she's scheduled another sonogram to help us find out just how big the baby is. Even so, we know plenty of people who’s babies have arrived three weeks early, and in addition to today being our “early due date”, today is exactly three weeks from our original due date of August 16th. So when is the baby coming? Who knows, but I guarantee you that one way or another, it’s going to be a long three weeks ahead of us.
