Humdrum

It seems I am trying to settle back into work after being gone so long with my Dad's illness, death and funeral. This is probably a futile effort, since within the next couple of weeks I could be having this baby and life will be in turmoil again. A better type of turmoil, but turmoil nonetheless. On Friday the Dr said I am starting to thin out cervix-wise and I could be 1 cm dilated. I don't take much stock in the 1 cm thing, because the books say you could be dilated 1-2 cm the entire last month of your pregnancy, the cervix thing, now that is news! Does that mean the baby is coming soon? Who knows, haven't read much on that yet, I guess I should check into that. We meet with our doula on Thursday to go over any emotional trauma that might come up during childbirth. Since I am not real open about my emotions it should be interesting, especially during the labor. Goodness knows what is going to come up!
I am excited though, I reserved the flights for my Mom this afternoon. Crazy how quickly flight prices can change within a couple hours/minutes! Hopefully we will have the baby before then so she can be support staff for a very tired new Mommy, while very tired new Daddy is back at work and school. We don't have much else exciting going on. I have been wondering around the house putting together baby stuff that has been sitting in the boxes. Don't know if I need to do that, but while the husband is busy finishing his 'before the baby comes list', I might as well do something productive.
