Could be any day now

So, I'm sure many of you are saying, "I thought it could be any day now for a while." Well, with a baby, you never really know. I didn't have my hopes up (until now) the last few weeks because I knew how things were with Anna. Yes, I have been preparing for labor for a while now and off work as a precaution, but I didn't think anything would happen (until now). I really wasn't ready (until now) and wanted him (still not sure on the name) to stay put (until now). HOWEVER, things have changed. The last few days I have been more and more uncomfortable. I don't know if I mentioned it, but I got sick with what Anna had- not fun. AND, (until now)I haven't really felt the contractions, but now I have had a couple episodes where they have been painful enough and lasting almost long enough to go to the hospital. Anyway, incase you didn't figure it out, I am ready. My bags are packed, my parents are on standby, and I may just even go sit at the McDonalds on Lake Street so I am ready to go to Abbott when the time comes.

No, I'm just kidding. Technically, I am only 36 weeks and of course every day and week helps, but it isn't exactly fun waiting and wondering. Oh, and I suppose I should mention that my midwife is also expecting me any day now. I was dilated to 4-5cm at my appointment today, so we'll see, and we'll keep you updated.
