Happy Update

I went to the doctor today and Baby Boy is head-down and ready! Yay! That was the main good news. The other good news is that I'm 3 cm dilated and 70% effaced, so hopefully we'll get to meet him really soon. I am super excited about the fact that I'm already 3 cm. With Elena, I wasn't 3 cm until after I'd been on Pitocin for a couple of hours, and I was already asking for an epidural because I was miserable. This time I arrived at this point virtually pain free. Don't worry, I'm sure enough pain is on the way to make up for it.

The doctor said that I should have him in the next week, but I'm choosing to believe that he'll come in the next few days. We'll keep you posted!
