Well, last weekend I had some really bad back pain and cramps, so I called the doc on monday because they continued. They had me go into labor and delivery (I decided I hate calling to ask questions while I'm this late in the pregnancy, because all they tell me is to go to the hospital, which is more money out of our pocket just be sent home!) So we went, and found out that I was dilated to a 1 (I had last been checked a few days before that as not dilated, and 70 % effaced) So the nurse said that's probably why I felt all the pain through the weekend and all day that day. We went home, and I had my doctor's appointment on Wednesday last week (2 days after the hospital visit) and found out I am now 2 cm dilated and that things are moving right along! That was last Wednesday, so I'm sure I'm even more dilated by now! My appointment is on Thursday for my 38 week check up, if we even make it 'till then (my contractions have been getting worse and closer together when I have them, so I'm hoping that means something!) The doctor says I could have him any day, but I have a feeling the baby is going to be stubborn and not come 'till his due date! (hopefully not after though!) But I at least figure with all this pain that I'm having, that my body is that much more ready for the big day! So that's all the news so far. Here is a pic I took Sunday (I was 37 1/2 weeks)
