38 week appointment and the countdown is on

Had the 38 week appointment on Friday. 1cm dilated and 90% effaced. Any progress is good progress in my book! I've had a lot more cramps and general discomfort since then, so I'd like to think things are moving right along. I've had so many people texting and calling asking if she's here yet. So, I set up a text list of people who will get the updates when we go to the hospital. Never fear, you will know the second we feel like anything official is happening! In related news, there are NINE DAYS left until our due date. That's right, single digits! Crazy! I've read that 1st-timers often go to 41+ weeks, but Dr. Handcock said he'd like to induce in the 40th week if we get that far. I don't know how I feel about all of that. I'll just keep my fingers crossed that she gets here before then. This Wednesday is the full moon, and they say that makes women go into labor, so maybe this week is it. Stay tuned!
