Gross, but a positive sign.

I noticed I lost what looks like some of the mucous plug this morning...for those of us who may not be blessed with being aware of this labor sign, the mucous plug is created in early pregnancy to block bacteria from entering the uterus. As the cervix ripens and (hopefully has begun to open - I'll find out later today at my dr's appt) the mucus loosens and is released. It doesn't mean labor is immediately going to start, but atleast it seems my body is getting ready. Yesterday I had my legs waxed and today I had my pedicure so I'm ready for a sexy-smooth labor...yah right.
