3cm!!!

I just did 3 blog posts - so be sure to check out the other 2 after this one...this is me attempting to get caught up on my blogging before we have Squirt B (does this count as nesting?!).

I had my 37 week check-up today and was surprised to hear I am 3cm dilated (note for my friends who haven't had a baby: at 10 cm you are pushing)! WOWZA! With Hadley I wasn't 3cm until my 40 week check-up and actually went into labor the next day....I'm hoping that doesn't happen this time as I don't feel quite ready for lil' buddy to make his appearance yet (at least give me a day or 2 more!), but at the same time, am READY for him to come and ready to NOT BE PREGNANT! I realized the other day that if you are technically prego for 10 months, then I have been prego for 20 out of the last 25 months...CRAZINESS!!!

Anyway, I am feeling pretty good overall - pretty tired and uncomfortable (especially with the recent HEAT WAVE), and am having Braxton Hicks contractions ALL the time.

Hearing the doc say I am 3cm and could go at ANY TIME really was a dose of reality that we are actually about to have a 2nd baby! Putting Hadley to bed tonight was kind of emotional for me...we don't have too much longer with just her and I am so excited for her to be a big sister.

This is the beginning of a new chapter for us...as a FAMILY OF 4.

We appreciate all of your prayers and support for a smooth and safe labor & delivery!!!
