Getting ready for birth

Last year this time, I was all ready for bubba to be born. Her due date was 18 December 2007. Being my first, I don't really know what to expect. Others have Braxton Hicks experience, contractions experience before due, but I never had any. The most I ever had was a huge kick that'd leave me breathless for a few seconds.

I laid my side of the bed with towels just in case my water bag burst. Had plastic bags and towels in the passenger car seat also just in case the water bag burst. Well, it's cheaper to change a towel than have to change the whole bed mattress or car seat cover. Read up on delivery on the way to hospital in case we can't get there in time.

Prayed hard for a safe and smooth delivery, that I'd have a natural birth.

Ate more than my husband, even with a full grown baby inside me. Not just in terms of meals, but also the quantity at each meal. Constantly snacking and drinking.

What did you do in preparation for the arrival of a new bub?
