Monday is a GO!!!

So Chill and I went to the doctor today and things went well. We talked for a bit and then it was the moment of truth. He checked me and said I am at about a 2 1/2 and 90% effaced. After he checked me he said that Monday is a go and he had no concerns about me being far enough along by then. I'll be honest, I didn't know what to think. I was excited, shocked, scared, nervous, all at the same time. I mean now this is real. The doctor said if I didn't feel ready we could just cancel for Monday and let it just happen. I told him I felt more comfortable with a plan. So he told me I can't eat anything after midnight on Sunday, especially not a big pork chop! He's great. He told me I need to take it easy Friday and most of Saturday because he is going to be out of town until Saturday evening. I told him there was no way I could have this baby without him so he didn't need to worry about me going into labor while he was gone. I would die if another doctor delivered my baby. (okay so I wouldn't literally die, it would just be hard). So it looks like this will be the last few days before Chill and I are parents. That is a scary thought. I am happy though that Monday will work. I'd much rather plan it than just wait for it to happen. So there you go. There is the update. I guess I better go pack my bag and be ready!!!

OH MY GOSH! You better not indulge in a pork chop sunday night! I really do hope that you take it easy this weekend because you don't wan't anybody else delivering little Wilcox except Dr. T!!! I am so excited for you both. Isn't it such an overwhelming feeling when he says that your baby is ready to come? It doesn't seem real at all! You are in my prayers. How are you feeling? I love you Stef!!

Stef-

I am so excited for you!! Mel gave me your blog site. You are going to be such a great mom! Things in NY are well. I never got the chance to anticipate sophia as she came two weeks early. While you are in the throngs of labor just remember that in less than a day (hopefully) it will all be over!! We'll be thinking of you!

Carrie, John and Sophia

Wow Stef! How exciting! It's so nice that you'll actually know when you'll be having this baby, rather than just waiting for labor to start! I can't wait to see pictures!
