41 WEEKS....and IMPATIENT!

I am 41 weeks today...and I am finally to that impatient, get this baby out point! I really wanted to avoid this feeling. So far, I had just been enjoying pregnancy and over the last few weeks, enjoying being at home since I am done working...but today, I'm done! I want a baby, not a pregnant belly!!

We had our Dr appointment this morning and I am 60% effaced and 1 cm dilated, so things are moving, slowly. I am scheduled to be induced on Tuesday morning at 7 am, but I am REALLY hoping to go into labor naturally before then. My doctor explained that labor would be a much more pleasant experience for baby and me if I could go into labor naturally...so here's hoping for that! But, if I don't, I'm ready for tuesday and so is Eddie!!

Must Haves...

Ok all you Mamma's out there....I'm down to the wire, 7 days until my due date (I know, it could be longer!)...and I need your help...

I have a bag packed and have read and re-read all the lists in my books about what to bring to the hospital, but I want YOUR advice on the MUST HAVES in my hospital bag..please help!
