Baby update

So, I'm officially due in 5 or 6 weeks, but I've always been 2-3 weeks early. So, I went to my OB appt. on Wednesday & she said I am 1cm dilated. It freaked me out a little. I called Craig & he was REALLY freaking out. He was asking if we had everything ready & what we needed. I told him to calm down, I could be 1cm for a month! I guess I have to start somewhere, but we thought it was a little early for that. We weren't expecting it. Anyway, she wanted me to come back in another week instead of 2 weeks. I thought that was a good idea. So, I'll keep you posted on what's going on.
Meanwhile, I have been cleaning & organizing everything that I can. I cleaned/defrosted the deep freezer the other day. It took over 2 hours. I don't think I want to let it get that bad again. I was so tired! The boys helped though. Adam helped me scrap (I know, you're not supposed to do that) & Eric held the hairdryer to speed things along. Matthew 'dumped' the 'snow' outside for us. It was nice that they all helped. What a mess. Now, I have room for some freezer meals that I want to have made before the baby comes. That's my next project.
We're all getting excited for the baby to come. I've washed the clothes, the cradle is up, we have diapers & car seat. I think we're set. I've been trying to do fun things with the kids lately because I know once the baby comes things will have to slow down a little. So, we have some 'staycations' planned that are close to home, but hopefully will still be fun.
Next appt. is Wednesday. I'll do an update then.

Yay for being almost done!!!! I've got 8 days. 11 till I'm induced. And I've been at a 2 for three weeks now, so I hope your progress is better for you :-)

How fun! With all that work you are doing you will probably put yourself into labor.
