39 weeks. Any day now. Mild panic.
Bag packed, car seat in, brain absolutely nowhere. Someone tell me what the first 48 hours are actually like so I can stop imagining it.

Day three. Noted, written down, and my sister has been assigned.

Day three is the one nobody warns you about — milk comes in, hormones crash, everyone's gone home. If you can have one person on standby for day three specifically, do.

The first 48 hours you're running on adrenaline. It's day 3-5 when it lands. Plan for that, not for the hospital.

Honestly? A blur. You'll be exhausted and wired at the same time and you won't sleep even when you can. That's normal. Let people bring you food and don't host anyone.
