Months Become Weeks, Weeks Become Days

It's not that I don't realise how close this all is, but two very recent conversations have really brought it home. 

In the office
Pat: So how's your wife doing?
Me: Fine, bump still growing steadily and moving side to side every so often.
Pat: Yes, boys have a habit of doing that. They get all jiggly and worked up.
Me: Unless 'he' pops out and surprises us all.
Pat: I think if you saw it on the scan, it's probably what you're getting.
Me: Yes, we were all very sure.
Pat: Little chance of it changing then. So when's he due?
Me: Next month, end of the first week.
Pat: Just under 3 weeks then.
Me: If you put it like that.
Pat: 19 days.
Me: That's another interesting way of putting it.

At home, the next day
W: I think he's starting to wriggle less because he's running out of room.
Me: Can he hold on another couple of weeks?
W: Make it to September?
Me: Yes.
W: Just 11 days....
Me: When you put it like that.
W: Well, we've had full term already. (to the bump) It could any day now.
Me: But first babies are more likely to be late?
W: That's what they say. So it could be 5 weeks if he's feeling really really comfy.

And so there we are. No one really knows - it could be tomorrow, it could be a month away. Watch this space.
