Fine. Don't guess. I know you are out there reading this, I can see you, but if you don't want to leave me nice comments then bah on you. And no, emailing me personally does not count. And I even have good news...should I share it with you ungrateful readers of mine? I SHOULD but maybe I won't. Maybe I'll keep it all to myself and not let you know that the very first sign of labor has begun. Crap. I just told you. So as not to be totally disgusting I am not going to be as descriptive as I would like, but when the cervix starts to dilate further there is a plug of mucus that begins to dissolve and exit the mother's body. Today was that day for me. Labor can begin within 24 hours, 2 weeks from now, or anytime in between. So it's not a perfect predictor of when labor is going to begin but it's a definite guarantee that things are moving along. We have activity so I'm pleased.
As of Wednesday, I was 1 full cm dilated and 50% effaced. The doctor, who I swear put her entire arm up in my lady parts, actually touched the baby's head...it was simultaneously awesome and totally creepy. I have another appointment this coming Wednesday but how great would it be if the boy showed up before then? F'ING FANTASTIC.

Hooray, Hooray! You lost ye old mucus plug? That's great news. I can't wait to read that your baby has arrived. From one FAT-footed pregnant lady to another. Kudos, Miss July!
