I went to the doctor today. Told him every move I make makes me want to throw up and that I'm surely getting closer. He raises his eyebrows and kindly informs me that the reason I feel the need to hurl is because my baby is a 'bigger baby' and is likely playing cruel games with my digestive system. Thank you, doctor.
However, he made it back to my A-list when he checked me and told me that I am 1-2 cm dilated and my cervix is 1/2 thinned out!! The thinning excites me more than the dilating, b/c let's be honest--you can walk around dilated forever and if your body doesn't do anything else then its worthless. So--good job body, do things all on your own!! He asked me if I'd been having contractions & I said, "I don't know, I've never had contractions before." At least I can make him laugh! I have been having 'walking contractions' that stop when I sit down and start when I'm on my feet for long periods of time...so, if all else fails I should be able to get on a treadmill and walk this baby right out of me, right?
I guess the time has come for me to really pack my bag--I'm starting on it tonight and Andrea's coming over tomorrow...I'll feel much better after someone 'checks' it and tells me what else I need or what I've packed that I don't need (I know, how old am I?).
I'm nervous, I'm excited,...I'm hoping I make it to Friday at least & would really like a December baby but only b/c the November birthstone is a little ugly in my opinion (no offense anyone!).
We shall see...

I'll be praying that you make it till Friday!! Sounds like things are progressing quickly though. Maybe a Thanksgiving baby.
I am wishing you the best of luck and yes I have to agree with the color of the birthstone. My birthday is in November and trust me I don't like the color. But either way I hope whenever this baby comes into this world that it is healthy. That is all that matters. Keep us posted and I am praying for the two of you.
YAY for progress. You're already farther along than I would have ever hoped for, but let's just say you should have some reward for puking all the time! Can't wait to check your bag, it'll be like going to church camp all over again!!
how exciting! i hope you make it till friday too. but i am afraid that all the walking and shopping you do on friday may make this baby come in november!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a December baby, but I'm not holding my breath for it! I'm glad everything is going well, but will be sad not to see you here everyday! Can't wait til you bring that baby home though!!!
Yeah for those 2 cm. I was so excited when I started to dialate without pain. I figured I may have to fight for the other 8 but I got 2 for free. I have faith you'll make it to Dec. I was dialated to a 2 when I went to the doctor the next visit I was at a 5 and Levi came the next day. Isn't it funny how other wise modest woman will have an open conversation about their lady parts when it come to pregnancy.
