Due Date
A few of you have asked me when my due date is. It is December 21st. However, I don't expect him to wait that long. Both my other boys were born a week to almost two weeks early. I'm hoping he'll come at least a week early so there can be a few weeks before Christmas. We are very excited for him to come to our family. By the way, I am leaning to the epidural. The only apprehensions I have with the epidural is that I am anxious about a needle going in my back and I worry that it will just wear off like it did with my last one. I have no concerns about the effects on my baby or anything like that. That isn't one of my worries. I am pretty confidant that baby will be fine. I think at this point I would rather get it and take the chance of it wearing off than to deal with the excruciating pain of labor. With my first, even though it wasn't even two hours of pain, I couldn't enjoy the process. I hurt like heck. If I were worried about my baby I would take the pain but since that isn't the case I think I'll get it and be able to relax a little, hopefully enjoy the process more.

Ok, I'm going to be really ticked if you post that you have had your baby before I have mine- I'm due the 4th of December, but all my (older, as you know) sisters go LATE, so I'm expecting to go late... and if you have your baby first, I'm gonna be totally not happy...I'm already miserably pregnant! haha... Good luck with delivery and with that huge needle going into your back- I have to admit, it scares me too- enough to not get one-
Go for the epidural! I don't know that I could do it any other way. All three of mine have been great and I was able to "enjoy" the labor process. Don't wait to get it either. I wanted to try to go natural with my first, but I was in excruciating labor for so long I finally just did it. With my other two I got it at the first onset of pain and labor wasn't so bad. No sense in going through pain you don't have to. Maybe we'll be in the hospital at the same time? I'm due the 10th. Will you be at Al's again?
