Day 41...And In Real Labor. We Think.

Over the last few days, Hillary's mindset has changed from not wanting the baby to come to excited about the possibility. Ideally we'd go 40 weeks, but no one really considered that much of a possibility, especially considering she's essentially been contracting for 5 straight weeks. After contracting more and more throughout the night, she began thumping even harder this morning. I tried not to get Hillary's hopes up that this might be it, but when our doctor came in and saw this monitor chart draping down, he said, "Whoa."

"You're 35 weeks, yes? Good," he said, then added, "This baby will be coming today or tomorrow."

While he could be wrong, for the first time since early May Hillary is off all meds and letting nature do its thing. We just feel so blessed by this whole trial and look forward to meeting this kid for real. Any day is good by us, but if it happened today, it would be hysterical seeing as we've had our other two kids on the 12th. But tomorrow's not bad either -- it's Hillary's birthday.

Say a prayer for all involved and we'll keep you posted.
