Noah arrived March 14, 2009 at 3:33am.  He weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long.  He's just adorable!!

But an eviction date has been set!  Noah has been notified that he must be out no later than next Tuesday, March 17th.  I am now 4 cm dilated.  The doctor offered to strip membranes this morning but I chickened out.  We are set to induce Tuesday morning if Noah doesn't show up beforehand!  I'm really excited and really nervous at the same time, but I can't wait!

Update from today's doctor appointment - I am now 3 cm dilated and 90% effaced.  Kevin and I are hoping Noah will decide to make his appearance very soon!

At my doctor appointment today, my doctor checked my cervix, and I am 1 1/2 - 2 cm dilated!!  She said Noah is definitely still head down and she said his head is REALLY low!!  Kevin asked how long she thought it would be until I go into labor, and she said she doesn't like to make predictions about that because they are so often wrong.  But she said we should be ready!! 

I am officially on maternity leave now, and just a few weeks from my due date!  I am frantically trying to get everything done before Noah arrives, which I feel like is going to be soon!  I feel like my body is gearing up for labor, I can feel things changing even though I can't describe it.  I know it could still be weeks, but it could also be days!  I am fairly certain I lost at least part of my mucus plug Saturday morning!  But reading online, it sounds like that doesn't mean too much necessarily.  I've been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions lately, and I think I had a real contraction last night, based on what they say it should feel like.  I'm guessing Noah will arrive before March 5th.  We'll see if I'm right!
