38 weeks and 1 day---TMI Warning

I went to the Dr. this morning and as of 11 A.M. I am 70% effaced and .5 to 1 cm dilated.
I also lost my mucus plug over the weekend and had the "bloody show" today.
What it is: "Bloody show," a pink- or brown-tinged stringy mucus discharge, is a sign that your cervix is dilating and/or effacing. This is a definite signal that you're well on your way toward labor and delivery.
What causes it: This "passage" means the blood vessels in the cervix are rupturing as the cervix begins to open up. (This is a good, normal thing.)

I have been feeling little cramps the past few days but nothing strong or consistent.
My pelvis hurts more and more everyday though. :) I will not miss that.

BTW my BP was really good today 90/50.

So I guess this means that we could be holding our little boy anytime now!
I am soooo excited!!!

Here are a couple pics of me 38 weeks.
