Pregnancy Update - 3 Days 'Til D-Day!

I had another weekly doctor's appointment yesterday so I thought I'd give a quick update on how things are looking.  Apparently my cervix still has plenty thickness but I have dilated to a solid 2 cm.  The baby also still has a ways to move down yet.  I had really been hoping we'd have had some action this weekend but so far it's looking like it will just be another couple days of nesting before returning to work.  When I left work on Friday I had the mindset that I wasn't coming back in on Monday - showing my manager exactly where I was with everything and giving her some last minute notes on our accounts.

At least my spirits are a little higher now than they were at the beginning of the week.  I felt like awful on Sunday - slept most of the day and emotions were running wild.  I somehow came down with a nasty cold that lasted a good three days.  I still have a little stuffy nose but I have a lot more energy and am in a better mood now.

We were sitting in the examination room before the doctor arrived yesterday and the baby started dancing in my belly.  John put his and Megan's hands on my belly and Megan was able to feel her first real baby kicks.  Boy did she squeal with excitement!  I feel like the Braxton Hicks contractions are starting to get a little stronger and more of them each day, however, no real pattern.  I made another appointment for Wednesday afternoon.  If I haven't delivered by then we will discuss the next steps and how long we will wait for him to come out on his own.

We have most of the house ready for the baby - now just waiting on him!  I think he must want to wait until it's nice and warm outside.  Bring on the warm spring weather please!
