when 2 become 3...

Mother, Father, BabyAll you Mothers & Fathers

(and anyone who has good parental advise)

I only have 14 days (2weeks) until my potential due date

and who knows...this little guy could come early

(if Brandon's prayers are answered).

Generally I am one that can just deal with things as they come without much thought, but the more I think about this whole "mom" thing, the more nervous I get and unprepared I feel.
Seriously though...

can I really be fully prepared for something like this?
Everyone keeps asking me if I'm ready and all I can think is

"am I supposed to be?"

I mean I have the room painted, his clothes all hung neatly, diapers stacked, names in mind, and many good intentions to finish last minute things this week,

but am I every going to be really ready?
I already know the answer to my question,

and that is not what I am asking.
What I really want from all of you is advise.

I figure if I am going to be as ready as I can be, I can't do it alone.

I have never done this mom thing before

and I only know so much.
If everyone could please just give me a little something that they have found or know is important when it comes to babies

(labor, delivery, hospital, the first night home, babies, etc.)

I figure I will end up with a pretty good list

and be able to be "ready" haha!!!
Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing all your little bits of ADVISE!!!

Happy Late Birthday to me!!!
