I'm so stressed

This baby shows no signs of coming anytime soon. I'm having no contractions and feel fine. I was due on Sunday.

On top of that, we really have no one to watch our kids while we're in labor. We were counting on Brian's parents to come over but they leave for Texas tomorrow. Brian called our good friends, the Payne's, and they are willing to come out at a moment's notice (until Thursday). There is a big church wedding this Saturday and they are heavily involved in helping out.

I'm only comfortable leaving all the kids here for about 1 hour. Lauren is almost 12, Maddie is almost 11 and Ava just turned 9. They are really responsible and I'm not worried that they may do something bad. I'm worried something bad will happen to them. Fortunately the hospital where I'll deliver is about 5 blocks away.

In a pinch, Brian will drop me off at the hospital and I'll labor and deliver alone. Won't be fun, won't be ideal but I would be able to relax knowing the kids are taken care of. The nurses at our hospital are wonderful.

I'm just going to pray that someone will be available when I'm in labor.
