Progressing

I've said all along I'd have this baby early and it seems the baby agrees. I had my 35 week appt today and I'm no longer allowed to have much physical activity, I'm 75% effaced, about a +2 station and at least 1 cm dilated. My cervix is tilted so it's hard to reach and painful so he didn't push the issue of finding out exactly how dilated I was.

My mom has to be in Brainerd for work the last week in July and they're putting her up at a hotel with all kinds of fun water activities that are free and my Dr said he doesn't think I should go!! I'm so incredibly bummed, I've really been looking forward to it :(

Brandon is a little stressed now, he's so funny. He even offered to carry me to the car after the appointment and said I had to be on bed rest now. He gets a little extreme. :)

Hopefully we'll make it another 2 weeks b/c my doctor is going to be in Canada next week and the week after he'll be home, but won't have his pager on. So it'll be hit or miss if we catch him. I guess I hope I go in, in the middle of the night b/c then I know he'll be reachable:) He's the only doctor that does a cervical block for pain medication and it has no effect whatsoever on the baby and the only thing it does for me is take the edge off the pain. I still know when to push (not like an epidural), I don't feel drunk (like can happen with staidol) and it makes the pain bearable, so I really really hope he'll be my doctor. Besides that, he delivered me when I was born and he delivered Cayden, so I'd really like him to deliver this one. So you can pray I have the baby the beginning of August and not July--and while you're praying, pray we can think of a name! :)
