My 1st Weekly Appointment

So Wednesday I went in for my first weekly appointment. After my Strep B test (wasn't that a fun test)the doctor checked my cervix. (that was even more fun) It seems as though I am already 1 cm dilated. I had told him that I felt like the baby was laying sideways, but he assured me his head was down because he touched it when he was checking me. That totally freaked both Stephen and me out. He said that it was not as common for a first time mom to be dilating so soon. (35 weeks, 4 days) He also said I could be progressing early, but still be a week late and that this wasn't yet an indication that I would deliver early. As of yesterday I am full term, so everything would be fine if Cole came tomorrow. (though I am definitely not ready for him to be here just yet) I'll update you this Wednesday on my progress. FYI: My mom delivered me 10 days early and my brother came 2 weeks early. If I follow in her footsteps we may have a Halloween baby on our hands.

Yay! So exciting! With Sydney I was 1cm dialated at 35 weeks and 2 cm at 37 weeks, and still went full 40 weeks and never got past 4 cm. So, you never know. We are thinking of you and can't wait for Cole's arrival!
