Still Here, Still Pregnant

Hi all! May has been a hectic ride. We have been busy non-stop and I am only blogging now out of procrastination. Life is good but I am looking forward to seeing the backside of Thursday, after which we don't have any plans except that whole giving birth thang. Things are going well with me and the baby. I have been promised that this labor will not be 6 days and that they will have me through it in under 20 hours. That would be refreshing! Baby X will certainly not be hanging out till his due date. He is an impatient sort like his mom. I have been having contractions for several months now and most recently they have become a bit serious. At my check up on Thursday I had the midwife take a look at things and she tells me that I am already starting to dialate! She says it is just the beginning stages and that there is very little chance that the baby will be premature and at this stage, even if I went into labor it wouldn't be stopped. So I'm not worried, but I am considered full term in just three weeks so you might want to move up your plans by a couple of weeks. We aren't going all the way to July! And we better get that nursery set up!
