Naegele's Rule

Naegele's Rule is a standard way of calculating the due date for a pregnancy. It is something Daniel and I learned while in nursing school. This is how the rule works:

Last Menstral Period = 15 July 2009 (was mine)
So you:
+1 year = 15 July 2010
-3 months = 15 April 2010
+7 days = 22 April 2010


Our expected due date is April 22, 2010. I am hoping to hold out until April 28th, that is my dad's birthday. Wouldn't that be a great gift? :-)

Also, I would like to mention at this time, my cousin Beatriz, is approximately the same week of pregnancy as I. And Amanda and Bob, who are expecting their second baby and her due date is April 1st! Congratulations you guys!!
