Where things stand

We are at 37 1/2 weeks. The wife is already dilated at least 1cm (on Friday) and she has had an upset stomach the last 24 hours. She also has been having hot flashes and stomach cramps. She started having contractions today. 30 minutes apart right now, so still a ways off, but we are progressing! The mother-in-law (obgyn nurse) is leaving Chicago tomorrow because she thinks it will be soon. So does our doc. Holy hell!

9:45 pm update: contractions averaging 20 minutes apart and a bit stronger. We are progressing!

This is my last week of work. I do have unused sick time though, so if she comes we are good. I might have to go in next week for a few hours to do termination sessions with a few patients. Paperwork is almost done.

I'm ready to meet her and entirely unprepared at the same time. It's a little anxiety provoking!
