I have been reading about visualization and self affirming beliefs during labor and delivery, and they say that when you are ready to have your baby you should start to think of your cervix as this blooming flower. It'll start to open and "bloom" so the baby can come out. This is TMI for most of you, but it's not working for me anyway, so there. The doctor today said I have made NO progress since last week and that although my due date is next week, not to hold my breath.Fine.
I will just make some wild and crazy plans for the 4th of July weekend and with my luck I'll go into labor as the fireworks are going off and traffic comes to a stop:)
But really, I am feeling a little better than my fight last week with the sledge hammer, so that's good!
On another note, Malia is looking great! Head is measuring normal (not enormous like my pumpkin head), she has chubby cheeks and from what the doc thinks weighs in the mid 7 pound range right now.

When I was preggo with Mia they told me at my appointments that the more relaxed you are the better. When you relax you dilate more than when you're busy and stressed. It worked for me :) I was dilated to a 5 and 50% efaced a week or two before she was due-further than my mom dilated after 18 hours of labor. Hang in there-she'll be here soon enough! Can't wait!
I saw your mom today, she's so excited and ready to be a grandma! I hope Malia decides to surprise everyone tonight!
