38 week update!

A week and a half ago we went to our doctors appointment and she told me that I was 30% effaced and 1/2 cm dilated. Granted this didn't mean I was popping out a baby any time soon but it did mean that the process had begun. This weeks appointment was even better, 70% effaced and 1 and 1/2 cm dilated. Nice and slow and I am ok with that. For one reason Scott is in Orlando for work until Sat. so I really don't want anything to happen while he is gone and two I have heard that slow labors are much better to cope with than short ones. It doesn't sound right but it makes sense when someone explains why.

Slow labors can be really nice because you feel dull pain for a long time rather than intensely crushing pain for a short time ... did I even make sense? Well, I'm glad you're progressing! The last few weeks and days you feel so anxious, and it is so exciting! Babies are the BEST!!

Wow you have been busy! That's the best way to go during the end of a pregnancy--otherwise you go cuckoo.

I'll post pics on my blog of the shower later tonight. Check it out!

I love your blog, Cally! I can't wait to see your new little one! I'm sorry I missed your baby shower on Saturday. I was on the youth temple trip. The countdown has begun it sounds like!
