36 Week Report

I was really pumped about going to the Doctor today. I was so sure I'd hear her say, "Wow, your progressing fast, I'd say you are dilated to a 3 or 4 and I think this baby will be here by weeks end. We should re-schedule your sonogram and see if we can get you in today because I don't think you will make it to Tuesday". I say this for several reasons, 1) I have been in pain, I mean PAIN, 2) This kid dropped by serious proportions, it looks like a completely different pregnancy, 3) I was just about on my feet for 14 hours straight on Saturday, you would have thought that alone would have sent me into labor. But, boy was I way off. She checks me and says you are like a 1.5 and I gasp, "What! you said I was almost a 2 last week". Then she says, "Well, you are like a good 3 on the outside and a tight 2 on the inside". What does that even mean!! She tells me I'm softening and that things are progressing so this is good news. It just was not what I was expecting to hear. So for those of you that are keeping up with me, it looks like nothing drastic is happening just yet. Stay tuned :)
