NINE days overdue!

So yes, little Pot is currently 9 days overdue and until today I'd have said showing no signs of coming any time soon.
We went to the midwife on Tuesday who did a sweep, which made me a bit achy but didn't bring anything more substantial on. T from NCT said after hers she had a show the next morning, but nothing since. She's being induced on Tuesday - really hope we get to go first! M/w said everything was moving along nicely, that the effacing is happening and I was 2cm dilated! Which was very promising and most unexpected.
So yes, just had a bit of a dull week waiting for Pot to show some signs of doing something. I've been quite achy all day today, with fairly regular (not time regular, just several times) cramping and aches, and my lower back has been very sore. And then just now (10.20pm) I had a show! Wasn't really what I was expecting - forgive the detail, but was expecting some blood, but there wasn't any. It was definitely something though, and it's just very reassuring to know things are happening, even if it's going a little slower than expected.
We have a hospital appointment at 12.30 tomorrow to have another sweep and talk induction, so who knows - if I've had the show then I don't know what they do, guess we'll find out. I am going to look on some websites to see what other people have had done.
So feeling quite excited that finally things seem to be happening, even though I know it could still be days away. Feel oddly proud that my unborn child seems to know what it's doing, even if I don't!
Here's hoping the waters breaking aren't far behind...
