25-6-2009 - 36 week check up =]

My mood while writing this blog: a little disappointed

So, I had my 36 week check up yesterday. It was exciting because it was the first of my weekly visits!! Yay!! It's hard to believe that I'm already at 36 weeks (even though the days seems to be dragging now). I think what everyone has been telling me is true...that the last month feels like the longest ever!! Anyway, everything was good. I gained 2 pounds since the 34 week appt. Blah!! Blood pressure and everything was good. I have two cousins that are pregnant and one is due 12 days before me and the other is due the day after me. Both of them are dilated some already and the one due 12 days before me has already been told she will be induced on the 7th (she's already dilated to two). She's so lucky. That's less than two weeks away!!! So, seeing as how my other cousin who is due the day after me was already dilated to one (her appt was right before mine yesterday so we were there together lol) I was hoping that something would be getting started with me. Nope!! No such luck. I'm not dilated at all and he said my cervix actually still felt pretty thick. Ughh. I was just hoping I would be something, you know?? Anyway, he said my baby girl would definitely not be coming within the next week (which is fine cause I know she needs to bake some more) and that I could very well come back next week and be dilated. I hope so because he also said that if I don't dilate at all I could be waiting for her as long as a week after my due date!!! OMG. Lol. He said that it was unlikely though and that he was sure I would be making some progress soon. I sure hope so. Any of you ladies went from dilated to nothing to maybe 2 within a week?? I hope I am by next week. I just want to feel like my body is making some progress. Well, I guess that's it for today. I hope you ladies are doing great. =]
