yesterday I had my 38 weeks prenatal appointment and got checked for the first time... found out I am 2 and a half centimeters dilated and 70% effaced! that really excites me, but then again I also know that dilation and effacement really mean nothing when it comes to when you'll have your baby so now it's just a waiting game... 1 week and 5 days til my due date. hoping he comes soon! just wanna hold him already :)
