Ready or not!

Thought I'd jot down a quick blog to update everyone. I just got back from my doctors office and I'm apparently 4cm dilated and 80% effaced already....and not one contraction! My doctor thinks I may end up having the baby over the weekend. At this point, if I was in active labor I would be admitted to the hospital. Obviously, I'm not in labor so I'm at home chilling watching Oprah. Ironically, todays show is about the lengths people will go to in order to conceive their own child.

My doctor isn't on call until Sunday, so I'll be sitting on the couch cross-legged until then because I really want her to deliver my baby. I asked if she had some sort of batman call sign that I could shine over P-town to let her know when I'm in labor over the weekend. Unfortunately, she does not. What's the deal?! Does she have an actual life outside of my pregnancy?!

In other news I FINALLY stopped gaining weight in my pregnancy. It was a nice little surprise. I celebrated with a Carmel Frappuchino from Starbucks. It was wonderful :-)

That's it for now. I'll keep you all posted. Who knows, the next post may include pictures of little Baby Gore.
