The countdown

The countdown has begun. The point of 'no return' has been set. Due date is tomorrow, but if I don't go into labor by the 17th, we are going to induce on the 18th.
Little nervous here.
I hope that I can do this on my own terms. That I can go for the natural goal I have for this labor....but I understand the need to induce if we get to that point. It's just so....so....final. Life as I know it will be changed no later than the 18th. Period. No room for discussion. And it's going to be fantastic, exciting, nerve racking, exhausting, and and and. I can't wait to meet this little tot. I just keep hearing the chant in my head - 'healthy healthy healthy'. That's my only hope right now.
I am ready for labor to suck and be amazing at the same time, I have pre-appologized to Jason for anything that I may say, we have painted, purchased, read books, sought advice, sent (most) thank you notes, and understand that we are still completely unprepared for this.
All I gotta say now...bring it on.
