10 days late

The baby is now 10 days late. Allison is still doing great, though she is ready to deliver this baby girl! We have until Monday for the baby to come naturally, and then the Dr. will schedule an appointment to induce the baby, but hopefully it does not come to that. Allison has been having strong contractions over the past 18 hours. They were fairly consistent last night every 20-30 minutes or so, but then subsided this morning,

Essentially, the first sign of real labor is when the contractions continue to get stronger and more frequent, and generally, labor for many mothers begins in the evening, and on full moons. The next full moon is May 2nd, but we are hoping either this evening or tomorrow evening our baby girl enters the world.
