On babies and timing

Nathan, this morning:

Is my baby coming?
Not today.
Why not?
It's too early.
But I want my baby here.
I know, but we have to be patient and wait until summer.
It's too early now?
Yes.
You sure?
Absolutely.

On hearing our baby news, one of the top follow up questions is "when are you due?" In our world, a specific due date doesn't really matter, except to help calculate full term - it's all about not spending time in the NICU. So if you want to keep track, full term is the last week in July - that's the goal.
