Over the last 24-36 hours, I have come to the conclusion that I am Ready to have this baby. Maybe I'm not 100% prepared, but I am feeling like I am ready to try labor (which sort of scares me), ready to brave the postpartum fun (which really scares me), and that I want to know who this kid is! I'm trying to be patient, because I know it could still be a while, but I want to go soon! I'm 39+1 today. I don't think it hurts that my doctor said my cervix was very ripe and ready and that right now I want to crawl out of my skin, either. So let's go, little one; Mama is ready!

When did you feel ready? How much longer did you have to wait until baby actually came
