Still moving forward... inch by inch... Early this morning the midwife checked her and she was no more dilated than she was yesterday evening. Big time bummer, but she didn't get down. She's stayed with it. We puffed out of chests, said we wouldn't be discouraged and set off for yet another walk. The midwife said that a front bag of waters had developed and was in the way of the baby's head. The baby's head is needed in order to force the cervix open and this damn thing is in the way. On the way back we decided since her cervix was being such a bastard we would give it a name. So from now on when we take a name in vain it is the name of Sam the Cervix.
Anyhow, on the way back from the walk the front bag of waters broke. Thank goodness. This way the baby can now engage and start pushing Sam open. Right now she's in the shower calming down. In essence, now the labor has actually started, 33 hours after the first contraction.....
All the comments are excellent. Keep your fingers crossed.

Yay for the bag of waters breaking. You are moving forward towards your bundle of joy. Keep up that positive attitude, even though I know how difficult it must be for you. You are so very strong, and centered, and Smoochy will be there to draw strength from. You are in the home stretch now. Keep the faith, and know that alot of us have been exactly where you are now. We believe in you and can't wait to see your precious baby boy.
