Good Machinery!

Ahhh…..! Thinking back!!

I have Miles of Memories to share, but I promise to keep it short!

Just one year ago today at 2pm (central time), I had my 36 week OB/GYN appointment.

Dr. Doran said that I was measuring well, my vitals were spot on, and he was ready to send me away for another week.

I had asked him if he would mind checking to see if I had dilated or effaced or anything cool yet!  I knew it was early, but I was so excited to meet my baby!

He humored me, but not before making a comment that he would be able to predict the hour I would start my labor.

As Dr. Doran did his doctor thing, he made a few awkward faces, stepped back, and said “Nope – I’m not calling that one at all!!”

He then wrote in his charts, looked back at me, and in awe, he stated that I was “90% effaced and 4cm dilated!”

What!?!

Technically, I hadn’t felt a pain at all, but was dilated far enough to have an epidural if I wanted it!!

His next line will forever be burned in my mind “Well… Looks like you’ve been blessed with good machinery!”

Well… I guess I have been! I left the office saying that I would see him next week. He shook his head and said “yeah, sure!”

Now the preggo hormones are in overdrive!!! 

Happy, Scared, Excited, Nervous, Elated, Superstitious, Energetic, Ecstatic, Anxious!

What did Dr. Doran know, that he didn’t want to say out loud?!?

What would Nathan say when I give him the update?!

Would have I enough time to ‘close’ projects at work before maternity leave?!

I still have a shower coming up – What do I still need to buy?!?

Is the baby a boy or girl?!?! I can’t wait to find out!!

When will I get to meet him/her?

Only time would tell !!!
