Not yet!
Just had my weekly doctor's appointment, and there is no progress yet, no dilating, no effacement, nothin'.
Looks like it will be at least another week, if not longer.
It's nice to continue to have the time off of work and to be able to have a little longer to get the baby's room done and get everything organized. I'm anxious to meet this little baby, though! So many questions, is it a boy or a girl? What will he/she look like? Will I have trouble breastfeeding?
I keep saying that it just doesn't seem real that we're actually going to have a baby, but why should it? We've never had one before, and we really don't know what to expect. It will seem real enough with all of those middle of the night feedings and diaper changes, I'm sure. ¶ 4:15 PM

Did I ever recommend to you my favorite breastfeeding book? Nursing Your Baby, by Karen and Gale Pryor (a mother and daughter). If you feel like it, grab it and read the chapter called "The First Six Weeks" which was really really helpful to me to read ahead of time, and then to refer to the rest of the book as needed and when having specific questions. Wish I were still nearby to lend you my copy! I think I gave one to Kristen Hatcher, though, so maybe she could lend it to you.

Hi Samia!
It still won't feel real, even when baby is finally here. And yet at the same time it'll all feel incredibly natural and right. At least that's how it's been going for us. :)
Enjoy these last days - get lots of rest and don't tire yourself doing too much. Conserve your energy. The big day will be here before you know it and everything will be so different.
I'm thinking of you and praying for you, and of course, eagerly awaiting the good news...
God bless,
Feeble
