Baby Update

Well, I am officially 37 weeks today, so Cameron is due in 3 weeks. I had a dr appointment today, and asked if they planned to check my cervix. They told me not until next week, but I asked them to anyway b/c I was planning to go to a conference in the city this weekend and just wanted to see if anything was going on. Good thing I asked them to check, because I am over 3 cm dilated and 75% effaced. I'm still not 100% sure what those numbers mean, but I know that when I was 3 and 1/2 cm with Brayden, I had him 3 days later. I'm not really expecting to make it through the weekend, but you never know - it could still be a week or more. We realized today that we still had a few things left to do! I installed the carseat in the van tonight, and still need to pack a bag for the hospital. I also have a lot left to do at work to prepare everyone else for me being gone! Good thing the next couple of days will be really quiet, since everyone else will be at the conference that I am no longer going to. My mom is flying up on Saturday so hopefully everything works out for her to be here for the delivery and then to be around for a week or so after we get home to help out around here. For those that don't know, I plan on going back to work part time after maternity leave. I will be working 30 hours/week in 3 10 hour days. Rubin's mom will watch the kids one day, Rubin will be home with them one day, and we still don't know what we're doing the other! My work has been very flexible and accommodating, but the one thing that can't really be negotiated is the fact that I will need to work on Tuesdays. If anyone knows a reliable, responsible person (college student maybe?) who is looking for something to do on Tuesdays and would want to hang out with a baby and a 4 year old, please let me know! It's hard to find a daycare that will accept kids for just 1 day/week, and we are obviously trying to keep the cost down since my salary will be reduced along with the hours I'm working.
