37 weeks

I had my 37th week OB visit today. I was so excited because Lillie was able to join me. She had not been able to go all winter due to the Swine Flu epidemic. Lillie enjoyed finding out all the things that the nurses and doctors do to make sure the baby is doing well.

I am now dialated 2.5 cm and 50% effaced. The doctors say it still does not mean I would not go the entire 40 weeks but that my body will have alot less work to do during labor.

I had to have an internal exam obviously and Lillie was in the room for it. I was covered and had her up at my head but she now beleives that the doctor was able to peek in on baby. She wants to know when she can take a look and see how he is doing. I expalined that the doctor could not see the baby but it is so cute that she thought that.
