Will I be so lucky to have this baby early? All the "experts" have said that first time moms are usually late. I asked my doctor at my last visit about the truth in that statement. He said not necessarily. So I am hoping and praying that I might go early. Now, all the experts have been telling me not to wish to have the baby early because I won't be able to sleep, it is easier to do things because your baby is inside of you and they are easy to pack around vs. having to pack up a baby in a carseat and the quiet ceases to exist after the baby is born.
I think these are all lame arguments. I am sure all you moms out there will tell me that I will eat my words but here is my rationalization. I am ready to have this baby now because:
I am not sleeping anyway
I don't have that busy of a life that I am on the go nonstop and it will be a hassle to pack a baby around - plus I have family that are more than willing to watch the little guy if I need to do something
It isn't all that quiet in my house now - I have two dogs who bark at the wind and a husband who snores nonstop.
So I am sure that I will eat these words and I am sure there will be those experts who tell me "I told you so" but right now as I am entirely uncomfortable and tired, I wish for my baby to come early. Two weeks would be good, okay little buddy?

Hey I was early due date w/ both kids May 15th and I had them May 7th & 8th... just be packed and ready I think it will be early God is Good!
i agree with you 100%! early is better. of course, you want them to be all developed, but yeah...i had to be induced w/ my son 4.5 weeks early, and it was heaven! not to mention, he slept pretty much non-stop for about 3 months, so it was totally fine. i'll hope early for you!!!
I'm with Laura. I had Charlie 5 weeks early and watched Aurora go all the way (Scout and Charlie were due on almost the same day, and I'm sure she'd agree a 5 pound baby's better than an 11 pounder!)!
I'll hope early for you, too!!!
I LOVE the new background color, by the way. Very fresh:)
The earlier the better because you can have your body back...and drink! or not. Whatev.
I agree EARLY!! He's going to come out eventually might as well sooner than later.
I think early is ok, I had Makayla early, she was due on the 25th and I had her on the 14th. But do take the advise of sleep when they do. You will be up every 2 hours to feed the little guy. You will get tired. And you need your sleep. I thought I could stay awake during the day--I made it about a week before I was sleeping when she slept. But I was also by myself. Just enjoy everything that you can. It's an incredible thing having a baby. You will see after he is born and see how fast they grow up. It's funny how the 9months you are pregnant take years and their first year goes by in a flash. Please add me to your call list. I can't wait to see this little guy. Sara
