Quick Update

No baby yet. I am going to the doctor every Friday for my weekly checkups. Last Friday I was 1.5 centimeters dilated and 60% effaced (cervix thinned out). That really doesn't mean a whole lot. I could stay that way a while, or things could progress quickly. Between the whole due date discrepancy, and other people telling me that I look like I'm ready to pop, I have been very anxious about labor and delivery. Now I just want to get it over with, because I can't stop thinking about it and wondering when it's going to happen! I was induced with the other two, so I don't know what to expect this time around. I know the signs/symptoms, but I just don't know how it's going to go down, if you know what I mean! I'm probably between 36-38 weeks at this point. I have gone into full "nesting" mode. Houston's room is pretty much finalized, and his bag is packed for the hospital. I started frantically cleaning last Friday night after my doctor visit that morning, afraid the house wouldn't be ready! Problem, is I didn't get much done, because my body couldn't handle it! My dear, sweet parents then commissioned my aunt (who just started back to cleaning houses full-time) to come over last night and clean the whole house for me. I've never had my house cleaned by anyone else before. Of course, I had to clean a little BEFORE she came, because I'm crazy like that! So that's the status for now, I'll try to keep you posted!
