2 CM!

So the process has begun. I had a doctor’s appointment today and I am officially “a good 2 centimeters dilated”. This means Cayden is on his way and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I was so hoping that I would be a little dilated; honestly I would have been disappointed had I not been making any progress.

I will spare you the details, but the process of finding out if I was dilated was invasive and painful. I am sure it is nothing compared to what I will be feeling once true labor actually begins.

I also asked the doctor about this sharp pain I have been experiencing just below my ribcage and he said it was early contractions. Dr. Moore said that I am making great progress for being a first time mom. I can’t believe it’s all actually happening.

I have another doctor appointment next Wednesday. Dr. Moore will once again check to see if I have made any more dilation progress. I have my last ultrasound next Tuesday. It’s all coming together. These next few weeks are going to be one wild ride.
