Push 'em out, shove 'em out, way out!

Ahh, Bill Cosby. And yes, in case your wondering, these words did come out of my husbands mouth while I was pushing Ethan out. That and,"Honey, it looks like you're having a dog." He will deny these charges, but I have a very good memory. I swear just because Ethan had tons of long black hair...
Anyway, I woke up this morning having contractions about 5 to 8 minutes apart for around 3 hours. They started making my back hurt and crampy just like it always does when I go into labor so I called Brett in Nampa and said be prepared because today might be the day.
So I went to my appointment with Dr. Astin and he confirmed what I already knew. He says any minute now I can go into labor. Warning:If you don't like talking about cervix's, leave now, because I have no problems with it. My sis-in-law Cori tells me I need to be censored by Brett more often. I'm soft and at least 50% effaced. Yeah, the turtle neck is coming off! And I'm dilated to 2-3 cm. I honestly forgot to ask what station the baby's head is at so I can't tell you that. He was really surprised at the change since last Tuesday and he said he was sure I'd go any time. Can you tell I'm excited!!!!! I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore. The veil of death shall rise and I'll see La Vie En Rose once again. I just can't wait for the nausea to be gone. For the first time in 9 1/2 months I will exist without constant nausea. It always completely disappears within 5 minutes of the baby getting out of there.
So if you get bored, send some labor vibes my way. I've got a date with my labor ball.
