I spent another day at home waiting on Baby. That's what we called my daughter then because we chose to wait to find out whether we were having a boy or a girl.

Much like the day before, my husband left for work instructing me to call him immediately if I started to feel Baby's arrival was imminent. Also like the day before, I got a visit from my dad and spent a lot of time trying to clean my way into full labor.
