Kelly’s Doctor’s appointment on Tuesday revealed that she is 1 cm dilated.  Naturally this put us in a state of panic and we rushed to pack our bags and make sure we were all ready.  We completely understand that it could still be weeks, but it made it a bit more real and I feel like it was just the push we needed.  As Kelly put it, “Shit is about to get real.”  I agreed.  She is also 80% effaced.  I don’t know long it takes to get to 100% effaced, but apparently once you get to 100%, the baby comes shortly after.  So we are still waiting, however, we are a little more ready in terms of having our bags packed to get out of the house fast with what we need.  Tonight we go to get the car seats certified and that should be one of the final things before he comes.  Kelly is going to start working from home starting Monday, June 30th.  So that’s good news for her.
