Heir to my throne!

Here is the day of decision! Our lil cutie is still not showing signs of crowning :) 39 weeks + 5 days old now! After a long wait, we have to decided to start holding the life created by us on our hands! A day or 2 to go!

Our lil seem to a big lil! Expected to be around 3.3 Kgs. Here the statistics start. Phew, so many stats in the reports, atleast 25. So many graphs, so many vital statistics and atleast 1000 links which talk about each of those statistics! And as always 50% feeling happy about it, 50% worrying about it. 4 scans (until now), 3 blood reports, atleast 10 consultations and people say we are blessed to have so less visits.

Differences between a normal and cesarean delivery is much more than the regular medical science. People say 'Cesarean' is much simpler, few hours job medically. But the tougher job is to decide WHEN? Date and time has to be decided. Astrology, biology, gender, availability (hospital, people, rooms, doctor, tickets for nears and dears), traffic, time (to the accuracy of seconds), name, numerology are some(?) things we need to plan for! For a person like me, where decision making is a life-time process, ooh! I prefer normal delivery for my wife! Of all these factors, we (he and she) are no players. All we get to have is a pride look as a father and a mother!

My kid has been so nice to his/her (We don't know the gender yet) mom by not paining her at all even after close to 40 weeks. I know kid's comfort with mother is unmatched, but mother's anxiety to hold her life in hands is equally unmatched. We are heading to the hospital in a day or two to see if there is still a possibility of normal and if not, cesarean.

BTW, I was once told, that Einstein was the only person who lived in the womb for 40 weeks. If that stats had been true, current world population should have been 10% of Einsteins. Am I going to hold another Einstein? I hope not, I don't want my kids face to be used as cartoons on T-Shirts.
