i have been trying to balance being ready for madeline to come at 34 weeks but not expecting her to come for several more weeks. and let me tell you it has been hard. just about everything is ready. the bags are packed (well, as much as they can be) the lists are made, and the arrangements for the girls are in place. and they have been for the last 3 weeks. so this is where it gets hard. everyday, i am essentially waiting for something to happen... contractions to start, my water to break, something. but it hasn't yet. and it may not for another 4 weeks!! ahh the waiting. i am sharing all of this because when i went to the dr this morning, at 36 weeks, i was not dilated at all! so today we wait... but hopefully the wait won't last forever!

I remember the waiting to be the hardest part at the end too... The godo news is it won't hurt her to stay put for a little while :) Wish I had some good advice for you!
