The latest update (Less than a week from the due date)

We just got back from Rachael's check up at the doctor's office. She is 50% effaced and a "loose 1 cm". Her membranes have been stripped so we will see if that accelerates any action. Our next appointment is on Monday the 13th, one day before the due date. Rachael's mom arrived yesterday, and my parents are coming from Bolivia tomorrow so we will have plenty of company while we wait.
