I went to the doctor’s office for an exam yesterday, and she tells me that I’m dilated to 2 centimeters. Yeah! I could blow at any time!
I’m not due until the 19th, (or March 6 if you believe the ultrasound tech, which I DO NOT), but if I’m already dilating, maybe I won’t make it that far. I’m a little anxious, because I still don’t know what it feels like to go into labor on my own. I was induced for the Bean, so I never had to time contractions or worry about ruining the car’s upholstery on the way to the hospital.
It will all work out fine, but for now, it’s exciting and a little nerve wracking.
I read melissa's blog (and she comments on mine - another food-allergic kid). Here is her birth story for the second one, that was natural, versus the first, that was induced.

(Please disregard the end part about giving birth on the bathroom floor.)
