The Waiting Game

So at my 35 week checkup yesterday I learned that I am 1 1/2 cm dilated and 70% effaced. Wow. I wasn't expecting that at all. Maddie Lou is head down or "locked and loaded" as the midwife said. She also said there was no way I'll make it to 40 weeks. I kind of thought that anyways but I definitely want her to cook a few more weeks. 

I came home and packed my bag. I'm going to be prepared this time! 

The waiting game is much more terrifying this time around. With Lilly I just KNEW that I would go over my due date, have to be induced and have a long labor. But she proved me wrong at 38 weeks with only 5 hours of labor. 

I am so curious/excited/nervous to see how this baby will enter the world. I bought the girls their first matching outfit. (I love saying "the girls"!!!!!!) I wrapped Lilly's outfit so she can open it and wear her dress to the hospital to meet her sister. 

 We are supposed to go to Greenville next weekend to move everything out but I'm not sure if I will be making that trip. My next appointment is Thursday and she said she would check me again to see if anything has changed. So I've already told Madelyn that I need her to stay put until our closing date. I wonder if she will listen? Only time will tell! :)
