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.

cm

had our first weekly appointment today. best part of the appointment. we're at 1 cm.

wait. who am i kidding. i'm not anything. she's at 1 cm. i'm just standing around like a goof.

anyway - it's early still. but it's good to know we're progressing.

b-day† is around the corner.

In other news, pre-registration is complete and the dr has alerted the hospital to our impending arrival (impending being a loose term here since there's no schedule) and we have a car seat that installs and works.

so, i'd say we're just about ready.

wait. who am i kidding.

† b-day, or 'blueberry day' is the day when he'll arrive.
