I'm anxious to see when Bean might arrive. I guess I am more anxious about the arrival (the when and how) than the reveal of Bean's gender. A healthy Bean is priority #1. Abigail will gain a little brother or little sister, and regardless of gender, Bean is already very loved.
Abigail was induced 3 days before her projected due date so I wonder if I'll go into labor on my own. I definitely felt labor, albeit with it's medical start, but will it happen on it's own this time around? Since Abigail was delivered via emergency c-section, my OB has set a deadline of sorts for Bean. If Bean doesn't arrive before June 16, he/she will be removed surgically that morning at 10am. I am really not pleased with this deadline, as the thoughts of being inside the OR again make me panicky and fearful. So hopefully, it's a worst case scenario and Bean will arrive well before that!
Here are the many targets and dates when Bean could possibly arrive...

My target date was the same time (days left of the pregnancy) that I had Matthew.
Healthy Bean and Mom is for sure #1 priority. Don't get hung up on the C-section deadline. This would be a planned one, not an emergency one like with Abigail, there would be lots less trauma going into it. I was NOT happy that I had to have my baby via C-section, but once I was in there and he was out, all beautiful, healthy and crying, all my concerns disappeared. My recovery was very quick considering and I attribute that to all the running I did during the pregnancy, just like you have done this time as well. Keep an open mind to it, it may not be ideal, but it would be your beautiful birth story nonetheless! Hugs and love to you!
