Starting to dilate!

36 Weeks & 2 Days

Today was our second weekly doctor visit. We will be going once a week until the baby is born. The doctor checked to see if I had started dilating. We never thought that I would be effaced or dilated at all. The doctor told us that I was already 70% effaced and 1 cm dilated. Can you believe this? I really do not think that I will be going into labor any time soon but at least I am headed in the right direction. The doctor also told me that if I do start to go into labor she will not stop it. She said the baby is far enough along that he would do fine outside the womb. This is so exciting!! We have completed our birthing classes and now we are ready to take on parenting. (HA HA yeah right).
