100% woah woah woah!!

we absolutely LOVE dr. stewart...it's always SO fun when we see him at our appointments. today was no different...first on the agenda was a routine beta strep test. i find out the results next week. it's no big deal...if you have it they just give you an antibiotic while in labor. nurse candance said you can have it for one pregnancy and not for the next.

then dr. stewart checked my cervix...as he was checking he said, "what did i say it was the last time? - wow...it's 100% thinned!" so then it was a series of questions and answers. basically he said it's a good thing...this means my true labor could go fairly quickly. this means i could be at home and by the time i come in to the hospital i could be 4-5cm dilated and if i was planning on an epidural {YES PLEASE} i should get it done as soon as i get there. scott asked, "but it's not like it will happen so fast that she'd have the baby at home, right??" dr. stewart had a smile and told us that he couldn't rule that possibility out...hahaa THANK GOODNESS we live down the street from the hospital. and again, dr. stewart was so amazing and caring making sure we had his home number in the case we do go into labor. i feel like a ticking baby bomb...stay tuned.

here is some information i found out about my cervix being 100% thinned:
{Effacement is generally measured in percentages by doctors and midwives. When you have an exam your provider will tell you that it is anywhere from 0% to 100% which means not effaced at all to completely effaced and thin. When it is completely effaced it becomes a part of the uterine wall, allowing the baby to pass through.} so now scott and i just sit and wait. need to listen to my body and contractions...unless of course my water breaks.

*dr. stewart ~ we are so incredibly BLESSED to have you as our doctor!! thank you!!*
