Back!

We're back from our doctor's appointment and it went okay. :( Kind of disappointing, but not entirely. I'm still not making any progress as far as dilating or effacing, but my cervix has softened quite a bit and moved forward. The doctor seems really optomistic that I will go naturally and soon, just going by how many contractions I'm having (and that they are getting stronger) and that my cervix is doing something. So we have an appointment for next week but hoping we don't have to keep it! If I do make it to next week then we start talking induction, and I did want to avoid that. But we'll do what's best for this baby and go from there!

I'm not entirely disappointed because I did see a girl from lamaze class in Walmart, and she just had her baby 5 days ago. He was 2 days overdue and she was only 1 cm at her last appointment and went into labor naturally the next day. I have heard lots of stories like this before, but this one just came at the right time and then of course I got to see the baby - he was adorable!

Hope you're staying cool - it's getting tough to do that around here. I'm going to go take a nap in the air conditioned bedroom! I don't know if it's the heat or simply being 9 months pregnant, but I'm feeling very flu-ish and sick. (Please nobody say this is a sign of labor!...I've given up on all these "signs" all together. You'll go into labor when you go. That's it.)

TTFN. :)
