It has been quite an eventful couple of weeks! Mom arrived last Tuesday and has been able to come with us to our last two doctors appts. The first one (6/15), there was nothing happening yet, still no dilation or any of that fun stuff, but my belly did grow and I did gain weight, so that was a good thing.
But our appt yesterday (6/21) was much more exciting. After having contractions about every 20-30 minutes starting at 3:00 or so on 6/20, I was almost 1 cm dilated on 6/21!! The doc said he thinks I will have this baby before our next appt, which Eddie and I were so excited to hear. The contractions are not at all painful- they feel like Braxton Hicks, but apparently they are doing a little something, which I am thrilled about. Mom and I walked all the way home from the doc, a couple of miles, and I had nachos with extra hot sauce for lunch. I am on a mission! :) Every time I woke up to use the bathroom last night I was having a contraction too, so it seems like they are occurring throughout the night as well...so things are happening!
Mom moved into her sublet last night and Wendy arrived from Jacksonville to stay with her...so excited to have family here, makes it feel so real, she will be here so soon, ahhhh!
So we'll keep you updated on progress...hoping for a little girl sometime this week. Trying not to get my hopes up too much, but can't really help it at this point...so so excited. :)
