Holy crap.
Yesterday I went to the doctor, and I am 1 cm dilated and 60% effaced! I know it's not the biggest news on the planet, and that it could still mean 2 or 3 more weeks and even induction, but I was pretty darn excited! He also predicted that I won't make it to next weekend. I had to ask him to repeat that for me. Then I got very hot and nervous and for the next few hours was pretty freaked out. I feel good now, having some mild contractions, but nothing strong enough to get the job done. I am going back and forth between wanting it to happen NOW, and being so nervous that a few more days sounds great. The bag is packed and the house is clean, so I suppose we are finally ready. Adam goes out of town one more time on Monday, so that's stressful. I hope it happens either tomorrow or waits until Thursday!
Not knowing is driving me crazy!
Come on, people. Someone out there can predict something, right? No one has a crystal ball handy?
Okay, guessing will be fun, too!
I pick Thursday, July 24th!

I say tomorrow, so she'll be exactly a month younger than Nora. I'm so excited for you! Let go of the fear—there's nothing to be afraid of! You'll do beautifully. Your body and Mallory's body know just what to do!!
So, so much love coming your way!
I'm picking. . . Saturday July 26th. . . and I'll go as far as to say the afternoon.... :D and... she'll weigh in at 7 pounds 1 ounce...
My pick is Friday, July 25th. :)
I don't have a pick, just so darn excited for you! I know two others with close due dates, my SIL who is still waiting, and one of Q's teachers, her girl born yesterday.
And, yeah, it's scary as hell, I walked around for the whole time saying to myself, no big deal, women do this ALL THE TIME. BUT I DON'T!
Deep breaths, visualize Mallory just dropping out!
I am going with the 27th!! It is a heck of an experience..Good Luck!!
Is there a full moon coming soon? Hope all goes well. Can't wait for pics of little Malory and Charlie together!

Um, if Adam is going out of town then IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN ADAM IS OUT OF TOWN!!! It's called Murpy's Law, darling. So brace yourself. Seriously, that's freaking me out a bit. You're very brave. You can do this. I'm cheering for you and wish I could be there.

I'm going with Friday 25th! Can't wait to meet the Divine Ms. M!!!!
I think I am going to go with...Saturday July 26th. Sounds like a winner to me! Wish I could be there for it!
My sweet baby in ET turns one on Wed, the 23rd...so I think that is when Miss Mallory should arrive! Can't wait to hear she is here!!
I am with Erin and say you are going over! I am going to say August 5!
I'm not above harassing you, since you did it to me--from now until shr arrives, you owe us twice-daily progress reports!! Ooh, or maybe my guess was right and you're all cuddling together right now!
Ok, i am going to say next Tuesday, July 29th, no reason for it just my guess! But for your sake maybe this Thursday when Adam gets home.
