Updates

As of today, I have 7 days until my due date.

My last appointment (2/3/10) I was 1cm dilated, and 50% effaced, this is good news, I’m making progress!


I have one more appointment, this coming Wednesday. Hoping for 7cm dilation, and to be 100% effaced!


 Things I’ve learned in the last nine months:

  • Google has changed my life
  • Never complain about back pain (or anything for that matter) until you have a seven pound human growing inside of you
  • A baby changes everything
  • God, family, and friends are the three most important things in my life
  • I will always take pre natal vitamins
  • Birthing coaches: doubted them before, now: will always recommend
  • Two words: hot baths
  • Positive thinking can get you very far in life
  • Dr. Seeker is a true gift from God
  • Before entering Babies R US: take Tylenol
  • Have patience

 Also, please know that someone WILL inform you if I am going into labor. There is a call list.

My goodness girl! I stumbled upon your blog- I don't even know you, but I just spent the last hour crying and smiling reading your blog. You are a terrific writer and I am amazed at your honesty, maturity, and compassion at 23 as I read this from the perspective of 33. I think it's great that you are sharing your story. All the best to you and your baby,
Ashley
