39 weeks and 3 days

Doctor's Appointment
There has been a lot of progress since last week.  Today I was 3cm and 90% effaced.  Yikes!  I found out today that Dr. Miller (my favorite of the 3) will be out of the office this week and next, so I was a little bummed. I saw Dr. Benson today and had a much better appointment with him.  I think part of the reason I was frustrated last time was because of my "not-so-great" mood and we just didn't "click" that day.  Today was fine.  He's very mellow and doesn't get to fired up about things, which is good.  He also has a great sense of humor.  When I had been checked for dialation the last 2 times I thought I was doing great because it never hurt like they warned me.  Today was different - a lot different.  Wowzers! A dozen bad words ran through my mind.  He was checking and telling me where he thought I was and then checked a little more. In my head I was saying "ok....OK...OK OK OK OK".   holy moly that was uncomfortable.  I definitely walked different afterwards and when I got to the truck I looked at it and wondered how I was going to get in.  Don't worry, I made it. 
I measured at 39 cm for length, so that was right on, and the baby's heartbeat was 136 again.  Everything looked great.

We also set an induction date for the 18th just in case I don't make any progress between now and then. 

It won't be long!
