On Friday we started our weekly OB appointments and I am officially dilated 1 cm. Now I have been told that I could stay at 1 cm for weeks with no change, so I am not too anxious yet. However, this did make things A LOT more real for Scott and I. Our hospital bags are packed, car seat installed, and the bassinet and diapers are ready to go :) Phew, I feel better. We have a lot more to do though; the crib arrived on Monday and Scott is going to assemble it this week. The house will never seem clean enough for me and there are lot more items to find storage for. This week I have had more energy than last; I am still tired though. Each night I have been waking up at 3 am for my nightly ritual to the potty and I have a feeling this will be a normal feeding time for baby girl when she is out of the womb. I wish I could stop working now and rest, but I only have a couple weeks to go. Praise the Lord!
My biggest complaint today is that I wish this little internal heater would turn down the temperature... How embarrassing to be constantly hot and needing a nice cool breeze.

The other milestone this week was my first noticeable swelling and the doctor was very pleased that it took so long (and so am I). Also, my coworkers have been commenting that I look as though "I have dropped" and I feel as though she is just pulling me down lately. So I am praying that these last few uncomfortable weeks will go by effortlessly. Here is to being full-term this Saturday!!!!!!!!!
The Big News: As of Friday's appointment I am 1 cm dilated and baby girl is approximately 18 inches and 6 lbs. EEEEEEEK!
