Ready, Willing, and Waiting...

Just some pictures to give you an idea of how huge I am! This was actually several weeks ago on our babymoon at Disney World!


This picture is last Saturday at my precious friend, Sarah's, baby shower. She is 25 weeks pregnant (in this picture) with Triplets!!! I would have guess I'm the one with triplets! Doesn't she look amazing?!

OK! I have been very nervous and hesitant about actually having this baby, but all that has gone out the window. Well, that's an exaggeration. I'm still nervous, but I'm very ready! I think part of that is helped by the fact that my mom got here Wednesday night. We've had a nice couple of days together, and it has been fun to watch her work furiously to get my very cluttered house in order!! It's just nice to have her here, and she's staying for a while to help us out! (Thanks, Daddy!).

I've made some progress, which is good. I won't go into all the details about that, but at my last appointment on Thursday I was 3 cm dilated! I'm almost all the way effaced already. And I imagine I'm dilated more now because I have contractions the past two nights. We really thought last night was the night, but then they just kind of fizzled out all of a sudden! On the bright side, after staying up for a while waiting to see what they would do, I had the best night's sleep I've had in months! That was great!

My doctor said that, if I'm having some contractions, I can come in tomorrow morning, and she won't send me home. So if nothing happens before then, it looks like we'll go in tomorrow. I guess if absolutely nothing is still happening, we may have to wait until Monday night, but we'll see!

We are so excited to meet our little baby boy! I can't believe he's almost here!!!!
