34 week checkup

Today I had my 34 week checkup.

I am 2 centimeters dialated. I talked to the doc about the cramping I have been getting (although none since the weekend), and she advised me to try to take it easy. I asked her about going to Jazzercise and she advised against it. I am bummed because I wanted to exercise up until the end like I did with Alyssa. But, I don't want to have this baby too early, so I will definitely follow the doctor's orders.

She did give me two dates that I can pick from to be induced -- I can go in Thursday, March 9th in the evening or Friday March 10th, early in the morning. We will tell her next week what time I pick.

I don't know why I am having a weird feeling that I won't make it until then. And I just sent Alyssa's invitations to be printed with a March 5th date on them. Plus my niece is getting baptized the weekend before (Feb 26th) and I am the godmother.

I feel like I am not ready at all and this time is just passing me by.

My doc wants to see me for weekly checkups now so that she can make sure I am not dialating too fast. I can't believe that I am going to have another baby here soon.

whoa! It's almost time, that's awesome!
Glad the cramping isn't anything too serious.
I just hope you make it for Alyssa's b-day.

wow, that's nuts that you are already dilated!! With each of my kids, my water would break and everything and I still wouldn't dilate for 10-12 hrs!! lol I hope she stays in for a bit longer and lets you get things settled first!!! I know what you mean about not feeling prepared. I still feel like we have things we need to get done and we already had the baby!! lol Good luck, and take it easy!
