I wonder how much longer....

Well I had my doctor's appointment yesterday.  I was 3 cm dilated, 50% effaced and she even stripped my membranes while checking me.  This morning I woke up and I lost my mucus plug.  The doctor seems to think I will have him before Christmas.  It would be great but I would love to be home when my daughter wakes up on Christmas morning, which I have been doing for the past 14 years, but I guess we would do it a little later.  It doesn't matter at all to her that Christmas is even here, she would much rather have her brother be born, she is just so excited.

What do you all think?  Do you think it will be much longer???

Oh, what fun!!!! When I went to triage out 3 cm dilated, I did not have Cooper until the following night. Sooooooo, there is still a good chance that you will have a Christmas baby!!!!!

I am so happy for you!! Can't wait to see the pictures of your little miracle!!!!


Lots of love,
