Maybe it'll show it's little "privates" next tim

It might make Katie feel better if you suggested that her friend is watching over her and the baby.I did that for my stepmother. My Dad had died just under a year before Mackenzie was born on my stepmother's birthday. I called her and told her that my Dad had sent her a gift - her first great grandchild. She told everyone that, and it made here really feel that he did!

What a beautiful thing for you to do Judy. Tell Katie what a great way honor her friends memory. Another thing..unless it is a scheduled C-section..how often are babies, especially first born, are born on the due date?

Thanks Janet. I don't know the stats, but I doubt if it's that often.

It doesn't have to be that actually born on her due date, it will be close enough, I'm sure. I was a week late with Jessie.

That's what I was thinking too. Babies aren't necessarily born on their due date so I wouldn't worry about it too much. You just can't let things like that get you down. There is probably 100 other dates that have memories associated with them too but every day is a new day. Too bad that you didn't find out if the baby is a boy or a girl. I guess that he/she wants to be a surprise!!!!!!

Has she told you any names she may be thinking of yet? I know it's early, but some expectant moms have had their child's name picked out when they were 12 years old.

Just reading this, and I hope everything works out for your daughter. I know this has to be so hard for you.
