Well, we're waiting eagerly for Elijah to arrive! We are really getting excited about the birth. When I saw Kate (my midwife) on Tuesday, I was 80% effaced (thinned out) and 1 cm dilated! I am feeling very positive about this progress, since many of the horror stories and long, induced labors seem to begin with very little thinning and softening of the cervix. (sorry if that's TMI for some of you readers!) I am working hard on keeping a positive attitude about the pregnancy, the labor, and the birth itself. I am getting the "are you ready to get that baby out" question a LOT, and I am using that as an opportunity to reinforce my desired state of mind, which is, "I'm ready whenever he's ready, but I'm not anxious."
Today, Andy and I are going to see Harry Potter 7 (part 1), and then REALLY - I'm going to pack my bag for the hospital and the bags for Micah and Elijah for Grammy's house. :)
Hopefully, we'll have some news soon about this little one entering the big wide world!
