I hope we'll get to hear your baby tales in the near future.

I don't think that's how it works. Doctors just don't pick a specific date when you're 6 months away.
Anyway, congrats Gary!
They ask the couple when the lady last had her cycle, then when the last time the were sexually active, then do some cypherin' (aka adding 40 weeks to whatever date) and theres your expectation date.
Grats on sticking your penis in a ladies vagina and not pulling out when you cum! Enjoy the sleepless nights and endless disappointment children bring to all parents.

Guys....I've been with Whiskey Media for a long time now...but I have no idea who Leah is. I've hear her name before but I have no idea who she is.
I'm Gary's girlfriend and am sometimes mentioned on the Tested podcast. I have no connection to Whiskey Media otherwise, so there's not much reason to know who I am ;)

That's exactly how it works, loosely based on the mother's cycle and confirmed through ultrasound. Babies all grow at pretty much the same rate in the first trimester so they can get the conception date almost exactly right by measuring the embryo/fetus pretty much as soon as it's visible on ultrasound. Science! The "due date", while specific, is just a marker for appointments and certain tests that have to be done within small windows in the first and second trimester but the baby can be born any time in about a month-long window starting 3 weeks before the due date up to 1-2 weeks after, assuming it makes it to term.
