Are we there yet??

The closer we get, the harder it gets! Sunday night I went up to Labor & Delivery, confident that "this was it!!!!" Rick was at work, so my friend Mindy drove me to Lebanon through nasty fog shortly after midnight. When we got there, I found out that I wasn't having contractions afterall... I was having a bladder infection! My bladder was spasming so badly that it felt like contractions. I spent Monday in bed at home on antibiotics. Tuesday I didn't feel any better and switched antibiotics. The only good thing about going into L&D was that I found out that I'm dilated to 2cm. Not a big deal... but at least now I'll have a starting place to know if I'm progressing any.


I'll save you the gross preggo details, but nature began "moving" yesterday to tell me that things are underway and my cervix is definitely dilating! This morning I've had a few contractions and A WHOLE LOT of pressure. Let's hope this means Miss Madigan is packing her bags and ready to move out!


Here's a few pics of me today... hopefully the last pics you'll see of me without a baby in my arms.
