My "baby" turns 18 on May 3rd. He was due on April 16th and after percolating for an extra three weeks, I got induced...pushed for 2 hours and 20 minutes 'til I was able to pop the big guy out (8 lbs 12 oz). I remember every minute of the whole experience like it was yesterday...and remember being deliriously happy for days/weeks afterwards, even through the exhaustion.
Chris, congratulations. You have some wonderful, wonderful days ahead of you. Enjoy it all!

3 weeks! Wow. Is it normal for a doctor to be that off on the due date?
We always thought my sister's doctor was off too. They ended up inducing her around the due date, but when my niece was born, she was COVERED in fur, had long nails and weighed 9 lbs, 10 oz.

Your niece was definitely overdue :-)
I am not sure "normal" is the word you want. A due date is an "educated guess" and depending on how accurate the mother is with knowing her menstrual history, etc., it can be more or less accurate. Having a baseline ultrasound early in the pregnancy (which I did not have) can also increase the accuracy of the date.
A pregnancy is 40 weeks, but a baby born anywhere from 37 to 43 weeks is considered term. By dates, I was at the far end (43 weeks) which is why they decided to do an induction. Actually, when my son was born, I think he was only about 1 week overdue. My daughter, on the other hand, really was 3 weeks over...I never went into labor with her because no one realized until the 43rd week that she was breech. Ooops! I ended up with a zipper (c/section) to get her out.
