Weekly Appointments

I had my weekly appointment yesterday and I didn't expect a whole lot to happen, but the news he told me was quite shocking:

I am already three centimeters dilated!

I've never been this far along before getting to the hospital! With Charlie, I was only 1 centimeter the day before he was born. I'm not a doctor, but this seems like big news. Especially to someone who is swollen from head to toe, overheated, and sore! I need to get this baby out just so I stop complaining so much!

The doctor also said that the baby is "measuring small" meaning that when he measures my belly the result is a smaller number than in appointments past, so that means the baby is dropping...who knows. Grace might have a buddy a lot sooner than we think!
