Two centimeters, 50 percent effaced! Wo-hoo!! So, unless I go on my own, they will induce Monday, January 15 at 7 am. So, Ashley, you were right on target! :) Which is actually kinda neat, because Ansley's birthday is September 15, and then Christian's birthday will be January 15, assuming of course that it's not before (which means Dad, you're still in the running).
Thanks for the guesses - it was fun to read and made me laugh! Stay tuned for baby pics soon!
We are hanging out here, waiting for the fun to begin. Today we had a playdate with my friend Valerie and her 3 kids. Ansley really enjoys playing with other kids, so it was a fun morning. Last Friday we had a playdate with my friend Sandy and her two boys, and while I was a little worried that it might not go well given the varying interests, it went very well and Ansley really enjoyed both boys. This has been a nice time for me to get to know some moms from the mom's group one on one, as they can come over here and hang out, since that's what we'd be doing anyway. Hopefully after he arrives we can do that some more here at the house, until we're able to venture out. :)
My parents and John's mom will both arrive on Sunday, and then my parents will stay just a few days and John's mom will be here for two weeks, then my parents will come back. So we've got pretty good coverage for Ansley here for awhile, which will be nice.
It hit me that today is the last day that it will just be Ansley and me. What a strange thought. I know before long it will seem like it's always been the three of us during the week, and I won't remember what these days were like, but right now it makes me a little sad to think that from here on out our days will be different. Not bad, not that I would want it to be just the two of us forever, but just different. And I pray that it's a good transition all around, that Ansley enjoys having a little brother, and that we are able to really savor this last baby, and enjoy our family of four.
Wow! How exciting! We will be remembering you all in our prayers. I went for a doctor's appointment this morning and my cervix is just starting to soften, no dilating. It will be interesting to see if my baby boy waits until his February 8 due date. Part of me hope that he does because we are not ready for him around our house. The other part of me is so ready because I am really uncomfortable now and feeling really, really big! Can't wait to see pictures of baby Christian. We pray for a smooth delivery for the both of you.

Megan, that's wonderful news that your body is starting to get ready for your delivery. I'm also glad for you that the proud grandparents will be able to help you for your first newborn weeks. I am so happy for you, John, and Ansley that you will meet Christian in just a few days. :) Enjoy this weekend with Ansley and know that God has given you a special relationship with her as your oldest and your daughter and although day to day will change with adding Christian to your family, that God will still give you many opportunities to have times to treasure with just Ansley as she grows up. And watching Ansley and Christian grow to love each other will be incredible!. . . I will be praying for you on Monday!

We'll be thinking of ya- SO excited for you!
