I'm a little slow this week, but here is our latest update. As of Tuesday I was still 1 cm dilated but had increased to 80% effaced! Ellie also dropped again and was at -1 station! Dr. guessed her to be about 7lbs. LOL! I was hoping for a little smaller, but at least we know she's a healthy girl! ;o) I really can't ask for more! I weighed 153 and my blood pressure and swelling (or lack there of) was all great!
...(this may be an 'overshare' so consider yourselves warned!)...
Last night I lost (possibly only part of) my mucus plug! It really doesn't mean too much at this point as there was no blood and/or it wasn't followed by any gushing of fluid. I called L&D last night just to make sure. She said she was sorry she couldn't give me better news! LOL! I think she could tell by my voice that I am ready to be DONE! So ... I just have to watch for more "pieces" of the plug accompanied by "bloody show" (TMI: bloody-ish snot ball ... SORRY!) or just wait until my water breaks ... or of course until none of those things happen and I get sent in to be induced.
I'm just waiting.
Cory's stressing trying to get the new house in order so we can be at least most of the way moved in by the time Ellie arrives.
>>Not sure if I mentioned this before, or if everyone is aware ... We bought Mom and Ben's house and are in the process of fixing a few things and moving in!<<
We're not expecting to be moved in, unpacked and settled in right away, just moved in enough to be able to function with Ellie! We (and by we, of course, I mean poor Cory), with the help of Eilin and Rand were able to spray texture on the entire main floor on Monday ... Tuesday sprayed primer ... and Wednesday started my crazy painting scheme! We (I did actually get to help paint!!!) finished up all the painting yesterday and Riley and Jordan laid the tile for our entry way last night! What life savers ... SERIOUSLY! We have the greatest friends and family! We had SO many people show up on Wednesday to help paint we couldn't really even use everyone, plus there were people calling every 20 minutes seeing if we needed them to come help! It's so heart-warming! Today, Johnny is laying carpet for us and this evening Cory and/or Riley will be finishing up the tile! I'm hoping that tomorrow can be the day to do trim and chair railing and MAYBE start moving some things over tomorrow afternoon/evening and Sunday! I'm not holding my breath though, as Cory is the one who has to run the show and during all of this is working nights. He has to sleep too ;o). I'll keep you all posted on this and will post pictures as soon as I can!

Yeah...more progress has been made. LOL! I am going to take a wild guess and say that it won't be more than a week before she decides to make an appearance. I think with Tommy it was within a week that I had him when I started to loose my mucus plug. Good luck on getting things moved in and somewhat settled before the baby gets here!
