Well, nothing yet, absolutely nothing.

I think this has been the hardest part of the process for me.  When we had time left it was no big deal, but now that we are this close the hours seem to be dragging on. It has been 12 days since the doctors predicted a week and 4 days since they said if it is not here in a week they will induce,  and yet nothing.

200,000 the hard way
