A little bit closer

I went to see my midwife again today.  She said I was almost three centimeters.  She ended up stripping my membranes which hurt a little bit.  She told me to go walking for a half hour right after my appointment and drink lots of water.  I went on a walk with my mom around her neighborhood and had a few "real" contractions.  They were about ten minutes apart for about forty minutes and then nothing.  I've had a few more since then, but we'll see I guess.  She scheduled another appointment and nonstress test for Monday if I make it until then.  I'm also scheduled for an induction for Thursday next week if the baby still decides not to come out.  So I'm a little closer, but not much.
