I know that there is nothing that I can do about it, but I am pretty concerned about the impending storm given my nearing due date (a week from tomorrow). We live right in the path of the storm and already my work has been cancelled through Tuesday-- they are expecting quite a mess. We have spoken to the police and they think there will be a way to get to the hospital, but thinking about this on top of all of the usual "getting close to labor and delivery" thoughts has been quite a lot for me. I have been expecting that labor could start at any point since I have been feeling just "different" for about 2 weeks now. My doctor thinks that I will go early, but of course who knows!!!!

While I think that we would be able to get to the hospital, I am somewhat sad that if Baby arrives during the storm or in the aftermath, we will not have our family's presence there at the hospital, as we had expected. It could be a few days before either family could get to us. Obviously, that is not so important in the grand scheme of things an what counts is that we, including our baby (!) will be together, but it does make me a bit worried, just because that is the "picture" that I have had in my head for a long time. The one lesson I have been trying to remind myself of is that I need to not have any expectations and just enjoy the experience for what it is.

Additionally, I am worried about the damage that could come from the storm and perhaps being in a situation where we would be returning home with a newborn to a mess or potentially still no power.

Is anyone else concerned about the storm?
