Sai Baba appears before my delivery

On a Thursday, almost a month before my  delivery due date,  i sat watching Sri Sai Baba's movie on a Telugu channel. Although the Hindi version of the movie was very popular, i particularly like the Telugu version since Baba is portrayed very realistically by the actor. Baba appears as an old and wise fakir with tons of affection to give his devotees that captured my imagination of how Baba actually would have been, had he been alive. This was the umpteenth time i was watching the movie, since i never get tired of it.Even as i sat watching, i slowly started to fall asleep on the couch. Suddenly, i felt the presence of Baba next to me. He was standing next to me and stroking my head. He came close to me and left a message. He said, ' I am taking care of you, dont worry'. He stood next to me for five to ten minutes before he disappeared. For some reasons i thought that Baba was appearing on the television and communicating this message. Only when i woke up the next morning and the message was ringing  loud and clear in my head, did i realize that Baba had actually appeared in person and blessed me. I was wondering why he had to come and bless me. My delivery due date was still almost a month away. Strangely enough, on the following Tuesday, the placenta water broke at early morning 4 a.m and i was rushed to the hospital three weeks before the due date of delivery. Somehow Baba's appearance on the previous Thursday seemed to signal to me that i should spend more time remembering Baba and be ready for the events to come. Baba clearly knew that my baby was ready to come out and he wanted to prepare me for the same. So he chose to give his blessings and turned my mind towards him. Recalling this incident. I feel overwhelmed  by Baba's motherly love. Which guru god will offer so much care and concern like my Baba does? Love you a lot , Mother Sai! Do you know the day of arrival of my baby.....a Thursday!! Baba's blessed guruvaar.
