Could be early!

Well, today was an interesting day. Adam and I saw Baby Burla with the tech through the ultrasound. Baby is now about 5 pounds. It was hiding its face with its hands and being silly. Then Adam left to go back to work while I waited to see the doctor. We were chatting back and forth and then it was time for her to perform my first cervical check-just to see where I was at. Surprise, 4 centimeters! That had both the doctor and I speechless. She told me that she'd be sending most women at this point upstairs to labor and delivery. Since I haven't had any labor symptoms she sent me home to rest and perhaps prepare. Needless to say, Adam and I are in shock and it suddenly hit us that baby could arrive any day. I went to buy some stuff I needed for post baby and ended up forgetting half of it, yup- distracted. Tonight after dinner (Adam's dad wants to take me out for my potential "last meal" pre baby), we had better get packed, catch up on laundry and other household tasks, and install that carseat. I see the doctor Monday if not before. Keep us in your prayers, we want baby to stay in there growing another week if possible to be considered full term.

Another story:
Yesterday, after a long day I came home to presents under the tree. One said to Mom, From Baby. My husband should win a husband of the year award. He had also used tags he cut from the "Little Debbie treat" box to label the gifts. I love him so much. Our baby is going to be so lucky, no matter when he or she arrives.
