Doctor's appointment 4/14 warning: TMI moment

I am posting this only because as a very pregnant woman the only thing that matters these days is how bad I want to meet my baby, how bad I don't want to be pregnant anymore, and how bad I want to watch the scale move in the opposite direction. So, when the Doctor gives you a glimmer of hope that the long road is finally coming to an end you want to shout it out to the world. Be forewarned, lots of cervical detail to follow:

I was told that I am a solid 3cm. dilated, but can "stretch" to 4cm. I don't really know what the "stretch" means, but he said 4, and that's all I heard. I am still 80% effaced, and baby is still at -1 station. Let me just say that when I went into the hospital to have Drew I was NOTHING..... no progress at all, and now I am walking around 4cm. dilated! Its kind of cool to think about, but oh so uncomfortable to live with.

I really feel like this baby is coming really soon. In fact, I have moments in my day where I swear I'm in labor, and then it goes away. My doctor is out of town until Sunday and I don't want to have this baby without him so I am hoping she doesn't come too soon.

My next appointment is on Tuesday, so we'll see what happens then!!
