A Little Firecracker?

Our appointment with the midwife went well this morning, giving us hope that baby will indeed make an appearance one of these days. Home again I am now all effaced, 3 centimeters dialated and under medical orders to take a nap (difficult, but I will try my best). Turns out that while baby's head has been pushing as hard as it could on my cervix, the cervix wasn't budging because of scar tissue from a long ago surgery. The midwife broke through the scar tissue to get things moving along, and hopefully they will keep moving along on their own. I'm going to rest, get last minute things around the house taken care of, do a little walking and hope the midwife's predictions are right. Paul is going to work frantically, knowing he has deadlines looming. Of course, even if I go into labor today it could be a day or so later before baby makes her arrival, but with a little luck we won't need the doctor's appointment we scheduled for this Monday!
