Another Weekly Update!

went to the Dr. again yesterday and he says I'm dilated to about 2.5 and am 80 to 90% effaced...so I'm definitely moving along and she isn't even due for a little over 2 weeks!! Dr. says that I'm moving along quite well for a first timer :) and that makes me feel good!
I feel like she will probably be here soon and I feel like we are just about ready - let's just hope she waits until her dad is here to witness it! He offered to strip my membranes this week but I told him to hold off until next week because I really need to be at my work next week to train the new girl and so hopefully next week is my last work week?! Everyone is starting to say that it looks like I'm dropping a little bit and I'm definitely feeling lots of pre labor symptoms...so it's just a matter of my water breaking or my contractions to start progressing more...My body is working on it!
until next week........

Weekly Update!

Went to the doctor again yesterday afternoon...he says I'm now dilated to an easy 1.5 almost 2 and that I'm 70% effaced...so......I'm moving along slowly but surely from last friday I guess! It'll be very interesting to know when she decides to show us her little face! I feel like she's getting obnoxiously huge in there and I'm starting to get a little bit concerned with my weight gain...Doctor says he will strip my membranes next Friday if I would like him too?! So we will see how this next week goes...I'm 95% ready for her to be here...just a few misc. things to do with her room and I've got to get my mortgage test taken on Wednesday and then I think i'll be ready for her arrival! :) maybe

Pregnancy Update

so now I start seeing the Dr. every week...I had my first check on Friday the 13th - exactly one month before Miss Ryan's due date. I REALLY wasn't looking forward to that but it wasnt as bad as I thought it would be...I am dilated to a 1 and am 50% effaced. I know that's nothing but at least it is a good starting point ;)
Me and Mateo attended the child education class that IHC puts on all day yesterday and we learned alot! It didnt necessarily calm my nerves but it did make me realize the importance of being as relaxed and calm as possible...so I've decided that its time to slow down and take care of me...So hopefully I will be able to destress my life as much as possible until she gets here so that when labor starts I'm focused & ready for the labor
