Doctor visit 36 1/2wks

I told Brady last night that I was looking forward to todays exam because they were going to do a pelvic exam to see my progress. When I got to the doctors the nurse started getting everything ready for my pelvic exam then all of a sudden the nurse said, "wait you are only 36wks so we don't need to do an exam" and cleaned up the room and left. I turned to Brady and the horror in my face I am sure was classic. I really really wanted to see where I was. So when the nurse came back in I told her I was more 37wks than 36wks and was really looking forward to an exam, because I had been feeling contractions the past few days.

She got a grin on her face and said, "sure that is not a problem at all."

Phew--what a relief even though I felt a little silly because I "wanted" an pelvic exam so bad. But I am so glad I got one because I am dilated to a 1cm and 75 effaced. I am not really sure what that all means, but it is progress. It is way better than no changes so I was very pleased.

Now it is back to the gym to do more squats! Lets get this baby here :)

With Izzy I was a 2 at 36 weeks and 80% effaced...I went 3 days over her due date. Totally worth the wait.
