I always picked a date somewhere about a month away from my due date. For example, for my mid-January babies, I picked Valentine's Day. Then I told myself that by Valentine's Day we'd have a new baby in our house! My due date is irrelevant at that point!<BR/><BR/>It kept me from suspecting every little twinge might be something bigger ('cause you know the more children you have, the earlier those things start). I had no expectations, so it was always a "pleasant" surprise when I really went into labor. (exception: Everyone convinced me that my twins would arrive by 36 weeks, so when 38 1/2 weeks --and labor-- finally came around, I was VERY tired of waiting for the REAL thing. Grrr!)<BR/><BR/>Also remember that early labor can start WAY-AY-AY-AY before it's time to get serious about going anywhere to have that baby. I know some of your babies have come quickly, but you still have plenty of time. Now's your opportunity to do anything you need to do that you won't be able to do easily with a wee one requiring much of Mom's time and energy.mommyofmanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721817441780986975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18578415.post-41499797864511964642008-09-15T20:03:00.000-07:002008-09-15T20:03:00.000-07:00God's timing is awesome...God's timing is awesome...The Heflebower'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07426930970187689961noreply@blogger.com
