On Your Marks...Get Set...

Well, it is looking like we will step off the curb onto Parent Street some time in the next 7 days! Today we are 38 weeks gestation. The head is down, and contractions have officially begun, although dilation is somewhat slower. The plan is to see our OB again on Saturday and if dilation has started we will admit and induce. If not, we will let nature take it's course until Wednesday when the plan is to admit and induce regardless.

In response to this news I have done the following;

1. Had the car detailed (it was such a crazy mess).

2. Packed a bag of clothes for baby and me, which now lives in the trunk of the clean-and-oh-so-shiny car.

3. Installed the baby car seat (those things are a bitch to do, by the way).

4. Cleared the way for me to pass off my "on call" shift for next Wednesday evening.

...and finally...

5. Found that getting a full night's sleep is a lot harder than I had thought.

Boy oh boy!

Dean has been able to change plans and will now fly in on Monday morning. Hopefully the little passenger will do the right thing and hang in there until he gets here, I'd hate for him to miss out.

Updates as they come to hand.
