Still Waiting
I hit the 39 week mark yesterday. On Tuesday, there was no progress from the week before (2-3 cm. dilated and 75% effaced). I'm getting anxious, but at least I feel better about being prepared for the baby. I think I've completed every item on my list. I also got everything done at work that needed to get done. I love the change in weather, but am sad that I can't enjoy it more. I'm not doing any exercise at this point because it takes too much out of me. Brad and I did quite a bit of errands this weekend and I was ready to collapse. I should go sit on a park bench and read or something, but I currently prefer the couch -- I never thought I'd hear myself say that one!

Progress
I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow. I'm anxiously awaiting the new arrival although I have TONS of stuff left to do at work. I'm supposed to work up until the day before my due date, but we'll see if I make it that far. My weekly visits to the doctor started last week. I was 1 cm. dilated and not even remotely effaced. Today, I'm 1-2 cm. dilated and 50% effaced. None of these numbers necessarily mean anything, but it looks like things are moving along quicker than I thought (at least compared to last week's status). If I wasn't so tired, I'd link the words "dilated" and "effaced" for those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about. You may not want to know either and I'm certainly not going to try and provide any kind of explanation. I'm off to put my feet up now...
