So it will be good to see how well she manages being back at work. She is now taking guesses on what the date will be for the baby's arrival. I am going for some nice round figures, perhaps the 30th May, or the 1st June. Or maybe it will be during the next doctor's visit when the doctor said she would break her waters if she reached 37 weeks! Wonder if the little chap can even wait till her birthday.
