time goes by soooooooo slowly

had my final pre-natal visit this afternoon. still no asher, but at least there has been some progress. i have dilated 2 cm. and effaced 50%. my ob/gyn was very pleased, so i have decided to be encouraged also. while that doesn't mean that i will go into full-blown labor on my own prior to friday, it does mean that there will be less work to do once i get there. my induction is scheduled for this friday at 5:00 A.M...that's right, A.M. feel free to insert your own sarcastic comment here. while dreading the early wake-up call, tom and i will be ready to get to work.
