WOOO WHOOO!

I am super stoked to announce that my doc's appt went VERY well today. I'm so excited I've been dancing all the way home! The first lovely part of the appt is always getting weighed - and this week I didn't gain an ounce :). I was then ushered into the exam room for the usual measurements - heartbeat 138 and uterus measured 38cms. Dr. J arrived next to check my cervix... I told her that what I wanted from her today was for her to tell me that my cervix was dilating and she laughed and said that she would see what she could do about that. One thing I truly love about my doc is her enthusiasm - while she was checking me she started saying "Yes! Yes! Yes!" and I knew that it was going to be good news. I am 2cms dilated and my cervix is soft and stretchy! Doc says the baby could come any time now! She also went ahead and tried to stretch me a little bit to instigate more change - what a great lady! 2cms may not be a big deal to anyone else, after all some women are 2cms for wks before labor, but for me it might as well be 10! I was in labor for 24hrs with Cadence before my cervix finally decided to open all the way up (due to previous surgeries and scar tissue). So for my cervix to be opening on it's own means that my body is ready to spit this kid out and my labor and delivery should be much easier (or so Dr. J says :)). My boss is nervous as a cat about me going into labor while at work, and I really want to make it to Cadence's docs appt on Friday, so I am aiming for having the baby on Sat, Sun, or Mon... might as well be optimistic! I am currently eating my turkey sandwich, fueling up, and I am going to clean this house and do some laundry before heading to my last mani/pedi appt before the baby... I'm a bundle of energy with this good news - I JUST CAN'T WAIT TO MEET THIS BABY! I'll keep you all posted on my progress - hope your day is as fantastic as mine has been so far.
