Quick Baby Update

I had my 39 week appointment yesterday and found out that I am a little over 2cm dilated and about 50% effaced. I know that I can walk around like this for a while before delivering but it was encouraging to know that something is happening. I'm still a week out fom my due date and 4 days from inauguration day (I hope to wait until there's a new president to give birth : )) so I'm not quite ready yet. I have been having sporadic contractions since yesterday but nothing regular and this could go on forever too. Could be just from the doctor's exam. I'll keep you all posted...
