40 Weeks 3 Days

This is just going to be a short recap from my doctor's visit yesterday.

I had to have a NST or fetal stress test done due to Emma being past her due date. 20 minutes after being strapped to the monitors, Emma passed with flying colors. I honestly don't know what they were looking for, but it was interesting to see her heartbeat rise with her movements.

I told the doctor that I am uncomfortable and ready, and asked if my membranes could be stripped. I was 4 cms dilated and 80 percent effaced. She stripped the membranes and thinks that I will go into labor today, Saturday. If not, she will induce me tomorrow, Sunday; however, she thinks she'll see me postpartum.

It's now Saturday afternoon and, although I've had a few contractions, I think that Sunday will be the day. Greg and I are more than ready!
