Waiting for baby

I am now 7 days from my due date, April 27. I am ready whenever he is... Getting very excited to meet this little guy, hold him, look into his eyes, and not have to keep carrying this watermelon in my belly anymore. But trying to stay relaxed and be patient. I have another checkup tomorrow, so I'll find out how things are progressing. Two weeks ago I was 2 cm dilated and 50% effaced, but that apparently doesn't mean anything except that things are starting to "ripen." It's starting to feel like a long time that I've been pregnant.

But the waiting continues for now. Here's Roslyn and I with our neighbor's new puppy who decided to take a nap in my coat!
