Hi!! Okay, I’m a little excited today - recently returning from my OB visit. I’m not sure if I mentioned on here or Facebook, but I was hoping I’d be over the 1.5 cm today - especially after enduring all those contractions the other night!

I was! I’m now at 3 cm, still only 25% effaced - which the dr. said would be about right for the later babies (more than one). Although they don’t know ‘anything’, she doesn’t seem to think that I will make it back for next week’s visit!

I guess her excitement was rubbing off on me…. How neat to think this little one could be here anytime now!

I’ve been having contractions, usually 2 or 3 an hour, sometimes more. Mainly after a lot of physical effort - walking, bending over cleaning, laundry, etc…

Now I’m thinking I’ll be busier than ever, since I can now see the end really is near. I guess in the back of my mind it was going to be another month or so - ha!

So, from here on out, if you don’t have a post or new entries on Facebook (or Twitter - yep, I’m trying that out as MrsCandace), just assume I’m having the baby! I have a friend that will be posting when the baby is born on FB, so keep your eyes open….

Now, back to work!

Oh, funny note - when checking, she was SO funny - ‘Oh! There’s it’s head!’, or was it “It’s head is right here!”??

Either way, she didn’t have to tell me that…. trust me, I KNOW it’s head is right there! Can’t wait to have that tailbone pressure relieved and be able to sleep again… oh right, no sleeping, but at least I’ll be more comfortable.
