Check-Up

37w5d

Today's appointment went well! I am happy to report that I am now 70% effaced and a fingertip dilated...so it looks like there is some movement in the right direction. It's getting harder and harder to wait! My patience is about gone, and my irritability (hormones + no sleep = grumpy Katie) is increasing. Elfie has discovered that he loves to drum on my bladder at night, so I'm definitely spending more time on the toilet than in bed. Oh well. I guess I'd better get used to the lack of sleep...it's only going to get worse!

We go back next Monday for an ultrasound to see how big our guy is getting. If I don't begin labor before then, I am really looking forward to seeing his growth one last time!

  1. I'm so glad your cervix is actually doing something! Sounds like good change in the right direction. Everyone else seems to be having their babies around 38 weeks (myself excluded) so maybe Elfie will be showing up soon!!!

  2. yay! atleast you're effaced... My OB just said I wasn't dilated at my appt last wk and said nothing abt effacement. I'll have to ask this wk.

    Sounds like we're both in the same boat- I'm feeling VERY impatient too.

    We're almost there!!
