So things may be moving along faster than I thought...

...or maybe not. I've been having contractions for the past 2 days straight (although I know they aren't true labor contractions) and I finally called the doctor this morning since they just aren't going away. She had me come in for monitoring and a non-stress test. I'm 1cm dilated, which isn't that big of a deal, but I'm 70% effaced already. She gave me a prescription to try and stop the contractions, but if I do go into labor they aren't going to do anything to stop it. I'm going back to the doctor for another check on Friday and we'll see if I've progressed any since then. If I'm dilated more, I may end up on bed rest for a few weeks. All of this to say that the baby could come at any time, or he/she may be happy to keep cooking another few weeks. We shall see!
