7 Days and Counting

You are due to arrive by this time next week. Whether you arrive or not is still a mystery, but it's weird to think that this time next week we may have another person to worry about. It's also strange now when people ask when you're due. I'm used to saying "Feb. 3rd" or "2 months." Now when I say "Friday" it sounds kind of weird and people react much differently to it, too. "Friday" is the kind of answer you give someone when they ask "when are you going on vacation" or "when is your doctor's appointment?" It's not usually what one expects to hear for a due date.
