38 Weeks

Had our weekly OB appointment yesterday. Our doctor is out of town so we had this new woman that has joined the practice. We LOVED her! Once we got past how stinkin' pretty and nice she was, we just thought she was so smart and inquisitive. She asked so many questions about my diabetes and how it works with me going to a specialist too (which I don't think has worked that great at all - no communication between doctors). She said she might come by and see us in labor on Monday! I hope she does. I think I might choose to go to her for my GYN after the baby. It's not like we could have had her as our doctor - she just started. Anyway, she did the pelvic exam (ouch). She looked up at me and said "how many kids have you had?" I said "this is it." And she said "wow! you are about 4 cm dilated. That is really unusual to be that far along with your first." BUT this is great news! Because if I am induced on Monday it will be so much better to be further along on my own. My chances of c-section will be considerably lower. I was so happy to hear. So here I sit at work (I have two things left to get done!) contracting and 4 cm dilated! Yikes. I do have my bag, packed and in the car!
