Well said. I hope that all goes simply and wonderfully with your new little girl. Knowledge can be such a double edged sword. WeaselMomma´s last blog post..Working Within The Budget

My third just turned three. I remember moments during my pregnancy when the reality hit — hard. (But probably not as hard as it did for your wife.) Maybe it was just that I was so busy raising my two boys, but it took some effort for it to really sink in. I probably wasn’t worrying over all the details like I had with my first, either. (You know, when every decision seemed like a referendum on whether or not you’d be a good parent….)

I remember joking with my OB as we got closer to my due date. “When do you think this baby’s comin’ out for a visit?” she would ask. My reply was always the same. “I’m sure I’ll go into labor after a restful night’s sleep and we’ll be holding the baby by suppertime.” Do you know that’s exactly what happened?

I think three is my lucky number.

I hope it is for your wife as well. Just pass along my advice — think positive. The baby may be listening.

Best to all of you! -MM

For me the whole reality of having a baby hit when we saw our ultra sound. It is amazing how experiences opens your eyes. I hope though that your wife's job doesn't put too many worries in her head about your baby. I'm really excited for the two of you. Now that I have had one child I get more excited about births.

You're on the downhill slide, and it's more a reality than ever. Some apprehension is understandable. I know that I would sit for hours with a stethoscope hunting for a heartbeat the closer to our due dates. Good luck and prayers for a quick and easy delivery.
