Forty days or seventy days?

The whole "end to pregnancy" thing drives me a little nuts. We are busy gathering the things we will need, the things we want, and the things you end up with that you thought you needed but actually didn't. Our house is slowly becoming more and more filled with baby things (which by the way are currently stuffed in the once clean "finished" nursery which now looks like the storage room it started out as because yesterday I was just too damn tired to even think about putting things away).

But we still have a minor problem. Ok, several minor problems. Our guest bathroom still looks like, well, like sub floor and studs. The entryway is still subfloor as well. This really wouldn't be a problem under normal circumstances, in fact, I am very ok with not having the second bathroom (when we don't have guests over) - the problem is this -

The baby could be full term in 40 days or 70 days - um, that's a big span of time! 40 days would be 37 weeks, 70 days would be 10 days over 40 weeks, and all are viable options. What the ?@#$! That kind of changes my opinion on whether it is ok or not ok that we don't have a second bathroom.

Add to that our schedules, which by the way don't leave much time to sit around and daydream about the newest addition to the family. Trips to Bend, Trips to Eugene for wedding, family reunion, babysitting my sisters kids, bridal shower (all on different weekends mind you) and that doesn't leave much time to turn a bathroom from studs and subfloor to a baby friendly haven with operational plumbing, etc.

Can you say YIKES?!?!? Let me re-itterate - anytime from 40 - 70 days. Baby bear might just have to use our bathroom in the beginning :-(
