3 down. 7 to go.

for those of you followong along at home, we had an uncomfortable night last night as contractions finally kicked in.this morning we had our regularly scheduled appointment with the doctor. we are now about 3 cm and about 60% effaced (referring to the thining of the cervix). the doctor said she expects to hear from us in the next 24 - 36 hours!

so, we've reiterated to him that we'd prefer him to come after thanksgiving, but, it's up to him.

I'll do my best to keep posting here, but as we get closer, obviously it'll get harder.
