Romani Jr is on the way

So it looks like 3/31 will be the birth date, unless baby comes sooner.

Freaking out, especially with your first child, is normal, but you seem more prepared than alot of first-time parents and have a good support system you can call for advice. Try to get as much rest now as you can.

Of course you’re freaking out. You’re about to have a baby!!!

Nothing will ever be the same again. Ever.

Other than that, not much will change. :wink:

Yeah, freaking out just means you’re taking it seriously enough.

It won’t ever be the same. It will be better! The new normal of parenthood rocks (at least most of the time ; )).

I just realized I have a decent chance of kiddo coming on April Fool’s day which would just be the kicker on this pregnancy ?

Congrats! All your prepping will pay off and Ren will be a cool addition to take your mind off all this COVID-19 business.

How exciting! Take some deep breaths now and it counts as official labor practice breathing, lol.

That’s my son’s birthday, so a great day for me.
Hope all continues to go well.

I was thinking the same @romanigypsyeyes… Maybe some negotiations with the OB? Let’s try “sorry can’t do it that day, getting my hair done”. Crap that won’t work with this new reality
Hmmm… Sorry, can’t do it that day, getting fitted for a new coronavirus mask and gown ". Nope to morbid.

Well maybe others have some idea’s… Lol.

My mom was an April Fool’s baby.

I think April 1 would be a great day! Any day the baby is born is a great day!

My little sister was born on April Fool’s Day and that year it was also Easter Sunday.

My S2 is also an April Fool’s baby! He was 3 weeks early so our friends actually thought it was a joke…it’s a good day to be born. Here’s to a quick, safe, and healthy delivery!

I remember feeling a bit panicked just before my first child was born. I realized it was REALLY going to happen. And I am so glad it did. Parenthood is wonderful!!

Sending you all good thoughts as you anticipate Ren’a arrival. Our first born was induced on April 1 (running too late for ob’s comfort). We had so much fun because of how his friends made a 4/1 birthday extra special over the years. There were 12 boxes inside of boxes to open, unlikely external packaging for gifts, silly poems and the whole absurdity.

Everything works out, but I know how you feel.
Rather humorous and 4/1/2020 will be quite the marker of a moment in time if it comes to that.

With you all the way.

If you don’t actually deliver until the first, you can still have your 4/20 baby!

If born on/after 4/1, Ren will be counted on the census.

I think you mean on or before :slight_smile:

Well, if they’re inducing 3/31, Ren should appear either that day or 4/1. Hope baby is counted!

I thought induction was Monday night, March 30 th? So, probably Marçh 30 or 31. Good luck, @romanigypsyeyes !
