I'd like to know because I have my Dad who needs to fly in from Florida and my Mom needs to drive up from Indiana! I don't want them to miss the birth.

I would love to know...I've been having anxiety dreams and I know they are related to my not knowing/not being able to control when this baby is coming. Also, I don't get anything done without deadlines, so knowing when the baby was coming would make irt alot easier for me to get things done around the house!

I am really enjoying these last 2 or 3 wks and am in no hurry to get this baby out.

Ideally I'd love to know, but if I knew when I'd probably make too many plans and then be stressed out if I didn't get everything done in time. As it is, if things don't get done in time it's ok because it's a surprise anyway.

Ok, I changed my mind. I originally posted no, but now that this is my longest pregnancy ever, I really wish I knew. I go to bed every night hoping I'll wake up in labor. I'm going crazy! * Jaime

Ha!! Now that I am on the other side of it (ds2 was born on the 4th) I think it really worked in my favor that I didn't know. I didn't want to get all excited so I played it cool and for close to 3 of the 5 hours of labor I was pretty much in denial that it was "it."
