38 weeks and DILATED!!!!

Today we had our 38 week checkup. All went well. She was being a little stinker again and got those darn hiccups as soon as they put those monitors on her for the non stress test. She did well though and was very hyper with a high heart rate in the 160's most of the time!
The doctor did an exam for the first time and we found out that I am 1 cm dilated and 25% effaced (my cervix is 25% thinned out and the baby can move her head that much farther down into my pelvis) She also said that she could feel her skull bones/head when doing the exam... wow!!! Josh and I were very excited to hear the good news and that things were progressing well. The doctor said that it is just a waiting game now and that baby girl hahn is just trying to figure out what day she wants her Birthday to fall on. For the most part, my blood pressure has been staying in the mid to high 130's /80's which is not bad, and I still only have a little trace of protein in my urine.. nothing to worry about. We will see what next week has in store for us!
