"Pack Your Bags"

I received those instructions from my doctor after my appointment this last Wednesday where I was informed that I am already dilated to 2 centimeters. I could hardly believe it when she told me! Apparently the braxton hicks contractions I've been feeling have been doing their job. Now, let me just say this before you all start thinking I'm going to have this baby any day now....my doctor said that while it is progress, I could stay this way until I'm full term, but she thought I would definitely not deliver past my due date (music to a pregnant lady's ears!). And let me also say this - she said that if I were to go into labor from this point on that they would not stop me, so let's pray this little lady decides to stay put for a few more weeks to gain some more weight and mature her lungs a little bit more. It is very exciting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and know we are going to meet our daughter in under 35 days!!

And about those bags, they are almost packed. I'm still picking up a few supplies - i.e. snacks for daddy. But they'll be ready when the time comes!
