Happy Halloween!

The Dude and I are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little guy or gal. The nursery is set up, the house is clean, our freezer is stocked, and we've both made our final "boy or girl" guesses. (You think I'm going to share them with you? Nah.) And today marks 39 weeks, so just one to go until my official due date.

Over the weekend, Bean-o decided they'd had enough of my dancing, staying out late (at a wedding!), and walking all over the outlet mall, and the baby dropped a bit. At my doctor's appointment yesterday, I confirmed this fact, and found out that I am 60% effaced and dilated 1/2 inch. For those of you not down with the lingo, the bottom line is my body is getting ready for labor. I'm so excited!

Tonight we'll go for another walk and then head over to our friends' house to hand out trick-or-treat candy (our neighborhood doesn't see much traffic). And hopefully my body will continue to make progress. I'll keep you updated!

Until then, Happy Halloween from me and Bean-o!
