Check up - almost there

This morning we had a check up. As always everything was fine.
Last Monday I had contractions and just when they became bad enough to go to the hospital... it stopped. So this morning the doctor checked if I was dilated and there is a start: 1 cm. It's not enough to induce labor yet, but they did another procedure to get the contractions to start again to speed up the dilating process. If nothing happens on it's own this weekend, they will induce labor on Monday. So we're almost there...
