   I was early with both of my kids. My first I wasn't quite ready for yet, and my youngest I had just about everything already so she couldn't have come at a better time.

   My first was induced 10 days early due to some end of pregnancy health problems.  She weighed 8 lb 3 oz.
   
   My second was 7 days late and weighed in at 10 lb 3 oz.
   
   Their birthdays are 26 days apart, but their due dates were only 10 days apart.

   My son came two weeks early, which my doctor said was perfect since he was going to induce me due to my son's size (he was already 7lbs at 2 weeks early!).
   
   My daughter came three weeks early, and again was over 7lbs. She came the week before Christmas when I was expecting her the week after New Years! It was a complete surprise, but apparently she was ready.

   My son was pretty much right on time -- four days before the estimated due date. The timing ended up working great too...his due date was Christmas Day, and we got out of the hospital on Christmas Eve. My daughter decided to turn up 11 days after the due date, but since she didn't look post-dated we figure the dates were just wrong (but that didn't make the wait any easier!). Now I'm on #3, and hoping s/he follows suit with his/her brother .

   My first was early. I had her emergency c-section because she had had a stroke. It was touch and go for a while but she's 17 now and as normal as normal can get! My second was early also. He was induced due to some health complications I was having. He's 13 now, fully ADHD, but as wonderful as any child can be!
