So, I have a date. I went with the method of requesting a doctor from the practice (the one with whom I'm most comfortable, and who delivered Lorrie), and seeing what dates he had available. The only time slot he was on-duty and the hospital had scheduled L&D rooms open was Monday, November 9, at 8 AM.

Which is also my MIL's birthday. But hey. I didn't pick it! Quite.

So, I can nail it down to 47 days to go. At most. I would be totally unsurprised if I went a bit earlier than that, given my history, but I don't give it more than a 25% chance: that's a full 7 days before my due-date-by-last-period, and 8 days before my due-date-by-ultrasound-calculations.

It's very strange to think about this. Modern science makes some weird situations.

Heh. Yeah, I had the same thing with both of my kids before this, too. Wesley was scheduled for 10 days pre-due-date and came on his own a week before that. Lorrie was 2 days before her scheduled date, but she was scheduled for her due date exactly, so that wasn't a huge shock. The doctors call me moderate risk for early labor based on that, even though I don't have any physical issues.
