Whoa! I can't believe we have only 10 days until ETA of our little guy. We are all ready, well as ready as you can be. I am starting to get a little anxious about the delivery. Will I be able to push correctly? will we time it right as to when we need to leave for the hospital (we want to labor at home as long as possible but we live 45 minutes from the hospital)? will I be nice during delivery? what doctor will be on call? will we make the right choices for our little man? will I have enough endurance, courage, and patience? will Sanjay be okay? will we use the laboring positions we have been practicing? will I be able to go through labor without an epidural? will our little man be healthy? These are just a few of the many thoughts and questions that run through my mind.
At our last appointment, I am between 75% and 100% effaced but not dilated yet. For a minute there I thought he may have dropped, but that was a short lived thought. He continues to favor my right rib. I do feel bad that he is so squished in there. It could be any time now. We are so fortunate that Sanjay is able to work from home for a while so I have support when our baby decides to make his appearance in this world. If anyone has an extra minute, please pray for a healthy delivery and a healthy baby and for God to give me patience, courage, and endurance. Thanks everyone!

Honey,
No worries, just let things happen. You will be fine and so will Sanjay. I can't wait to meet my grandson!!!
Relax... This is the last peace and quiet you're both going to get for a LONG TIME... :)
Nicole,
Hang in there! Madeline was born a week early on Aug. 14th, and it was easier than I expected. The epidural really doesn't hurt, so if you need it, don't worry. Call me if you want me to put your mind at ease.
I'm so excited for you!! You'll do great through labor because at the end you'll get to meet this wonderful little man that you & Sanjay created!!! I have my days where I can't wait to see my baby & then others when I think it can't be getting this close, but pretty soon we're both going to be happy mommas!!
All normal worries! It will go great and you will have a healthy beautiful baby as an outcome... no matter how you get there, that is what is important! I'll be thinking and praying!
