The last doctor appointment we went to was routine. Only this time she did an internal at my curious insistence. And I mean how often does a patient ask for an internal voluntarily?
The cervix is softening. The baby’s head is engaged. Everything is ready to go. So now I wait impatiently. Over-analyzing every twinge and cramp. Wondering if I’ve packed all the right stuff for my hospital stay. Should I carry my hospital bag with me at all times? How many diapers do I have to bring? What will it all be like? Will the baby look like me, or his daddy?
So much excitement and anticipation, I don’t know how much longer I can take it :)

Wow. As a woman who really enjoyed giving birth (it's so interesting and amazing), I'm so happy for you. And I have no doubt you'll know labour when it begins. Even in those early moments, it's quite unique. Your instincts and intuition will serve you very well. By my guess, it's two weeks today, but your son will have his own agenda. :-)
Thanks! I'm sure I will figure it all out. The fact that it's an "any day now" situation has me very excited. As much as I want things to happen I am trying to just enjoy the anticipation. I am hoping I will not be waiting as long as you predict! :-)
