making progress...
We just got back from our latest doctor's appointment. Everything is still right on track. Her heartbeat is perfect, her size is good, and the doctor said I've run out of room (like I needed him to tell me that ;). Nothing big to report but progress is happening whether I realize it or not. He examined me and said that I'm 1/2 cm dialated and about 70% effaced and that her head is extremely low (I'd explain what those things mean, but if you don't know I'll let you research it on your own so I don't gross anyone out :) ) This basically means what we already knew, that I could go into labor today or 3 weeks from today. It is encouraging to know that all the "braxton hicks" contractions I've been having are actually doing something and not just making me incredibly uncomfortable. So all in all, no real news but progress is happening....finally!
I've just recently hit the point that I am really...I mean really ready to be done. I'm barely sleeping at night and the littlest tasks have seemed impossible the last few days. I thought being off of work would be great, and it is, but I may go stir crazy if I have to wait too much longer :)
Well, we'll keep everyone updated...in the meantime we're just going to enjoy our moments of peace and quiet while we have them :)
