I felt the need...

to revise my list to make it more "happy" in nature. So here are a few of my favorite things:

  • My son saying "MOMMY!" when I open his bedroom door in the morning, which is always followed by a genuine hug
  • A cool, crisp fall day when the leaves have begun to change color and fall
  • Funny movies that aren't as "well known" to the public
  • A good stand up comedian!
  • Live theatre...plays that is!
  • Quoting movies that I know will make the other person laugh out loud

I am currently 4 cm dilated and 50% effaced. I am not in active labor so it is just a matter of a good contraction or my water breaking and it's ON! :-)

She said my cervix is currently shaped like a donut and I am 4cm dilated on the outside but up by his head I am only 1cm dilated hence the "good contraction or water breaking" comment. FYI in case you were wondering why I wasnt at the hospital. haha! Thank you all for helping me laugh through this pregnancy! I heart you all!
