So after not making it to my doctor appointment last week, I went in yesterday. Terry took me and then we chilled at Starbucks for 2 hours. I got swabbed for Group B Strep and then checked. There is nothing more annoying then sitting bare-bottomed on an exam table for 25 minutes waiting for the doctor to come in! But the good news out of the

Yay for 3cm!

Boo for GM! BUT... at least it was fixable. Glad to hear things are well! :)

Have they told you how much she weights yet? Is she still going to be a big baby?

How exciting!! the baby part that is... so do you feel like... this is going to be gross, but open.. if you know what i mean? do the contractions hurt? can you feel her moving downward? WHAT IS HAPPENING? i want to know every thing!

well at least the part was in because with places closing and especially GM that could be.. well bad because the parts are not available.

Cant wait to see you!

No, I don't really feel open, just a lot of pressure. The top of my pelvic area has gotten firmer and I can feel movement down there. Even seeing Becca only after 2 weeks, she could tell that my belly was lower. When I stand up from sitting for awhile, my Lady Bits hurt for a minute and I need Mark's hand for support. The contractions are just Braxton Hicks, which are the "practice" ones-they don't truly hurt, but they do stop me in what I'm doing for about 30 seconds. Sleeping is very hard now--constant turning over and belly tension. Now I will have to play the waiting game.

The only thing that slightly concerns my doctor is that my blood platelet count is low. That just means that clotting could be a little slower of a process, there could be extra bleeding during delivery, and I most likely cannot receive an epidural (which I was not planning on anyway). I got stabbed for it again today, and hopefully it will stay above the right number. Blood Power!!!
