This is the home stretch! The finish line is finally in sight - but as you get closer and closer to the "due date", you discover that it is really a moving target.

In this episode we share with you some things to do during this trying period to prepare for the upcoming ordeal of "labor and delivery" and we provide a list of essentials to buy for your baby as well as things we do not recommend buying.
