Just About Packed

I've gotten everything buy my toiletries together, and now need to finish up the baby bag.  I go in tonight at 6:30 where they will get me started by ripening my cervix first.  I have no idea when they'll start the oxytocin to begin the contractions.  My guess is baby will be born sometime tomorrow. I'm praying that my labor isn't too long, though I know they can go on quite a while, especially with first pregnancies, and even more especially with epidurals (oh yes, I've decided I think epidurals are a very good thing).  I'm all nervous because I'm one of those people who thinks about everything that can go wrong, so I'm just trying to focus on the light at the end of the tunnel.  Think about holding the baby in my arms and praying for a safe delivery at the moment!
