Pregnancy Update: 37.5 weeks

I saw my doctor yesterday morning.  Looks like I'm now dilated to 2 cm but cervix is still hard - not very thin.  This is not good, she explained.  She said that you don't want a whole lot of dilating without the thinning of the cervix.  So, she has threatened to strip my membranes next week if we haven't progressed.  Unfortunately, I've heard that procedure is pretty painful.  Anyway . . . good news is Hubby made it home today and the stress and worry of wondering if he'll make it home for the birth of the baby is over.  So, now I'm off to power walk and do all the home remedy stuff they say to do to get my cervix to cooperate and hopefully avoid that procedure on Tuesday.
