So we live on the opposite coast from my and my husband's immediate families. We are planning to ask my mom to come out before the due date of our second (estimated may 12) but are unsure when she should fly out. I am worried the baby could come early and then we would be scrambling to find someone to watch our 2 year old son, who is difficult to put down at night.

Anyone have, or in, a similar situation? Any advice? Should we plan around the due date and hope for the best?
