Justing waitin'

Well I'm closer to my due date! I was suppose to have a sonogram before my Dr. appt. this morning, but both ladies that perform the sonograms were out sick. So it is rescheduled for Wed. I was ready to see how big the baby was from the sono though, because that was going to tell the Dr. whether he wanted to go ahead and induce or not. I've gained 2 lbs in the last week and baby's heartbeat sounds great. GUESS WHAT?? I have made it to 3 cm dilation!! All by myself!! No medicine!! Okay, maybe I'm kinda going overboard, but with both Caleb and Carleigh I never went passed 2 cm until I was induced! So it's sorta a big deal for me! I'm only 25% effaced though, so there is still work to be done! I went walking tonight to maybe help speed up the process. Braxton Hicks or actual contractions?? Don't know, but they are way more intense, so I know it shouldn't be too much longer! Still irregular though. If I make it to my Monday Dr. appt. then I will set up a time and day to be induced! I'm very much ready now, bags are packed, camera and ipod charged, kids valentines all ready for their parties, house is clean, laundry done, etc. Just waiting now....
