False Alarm and Pregnancy Update

Last Monday (July 19th), we had a false alarm.  I woke up and was concerned my water had broke. I talked to my midwife and she insisted I go to the hospital and get checked.  I was really resistant because I knew the minute I got on the  labor and delivery floor I would want to stay and have the baby.  As I suspected, my hopes were crused to find out not only had my water NOT broke, I was not dilated or effaced AT ALL!! I was heart broken. Of course they sent me home.  At 38+ weeks I was really hoping something was happening.  Isn't the third child suppose to come early and quick??

SO... yesterday I had my 39 week appt. and we got some better news.  I'm 1 cm dilated and 60% effaced, lets hope this actually means something!! Lily was a 42 week baby and both girls came via inductions... seems I have VERY stubborn children. My due date is August 1st, just five short days away!! However, the hospital has a strict policy about inductions, I can not schedule one until week 41.  So worst case scenario, we'll have the little man here by August 8th.
