Well, how's this for change? - appointment today...

Danalana wrote: At my appointment last Monday, the baby had dropped, but my cervix was completely closed. No change, basically. Today, (36 weeks 2 days), I am 1 1/2-2 centimeters dilated and 70% thinned out I told the doctor that I have been having menstrual-like cramps occasionally and braxton hicks contractions and he said that's what we want. SO, I went from nothing to...whatever this is I know you can go for a while dilated, but I also know that the effacement factor can cause things to change quickly. My friend, who had hers at 37 weeks recently, was the same as me, and her water broke the next night I don't mind him coming a little early, cause I know he is a healthy size right now, but I want him to bake a little longer. I figure he will. Anyway, that's my update!

lovemy2 replied: WOW - awesome - but isn't DH going away this weekend????

Stay put Kade - Daddy would be sooo upset if you decided to make a grand entrance and Mommy well - not sure how she would be with Daddy away

Mommy2BAK replied: YAY!!!

lisar replied: WOW already. It seems like yesterday you said you were pg. Well with only 26 days to go he will be fine if he decides to make his grand entrance.

luvmykids replied: Congrats on making some progress! Take it easy until DH gets back

Calimama replied: He's so close!! Exciting!!

stella6979 replied: How exciting! He's certainly ready to break out of there eh? LOL! How far will DH be? Will you be able to reach him if needed?

Mommy2Isabella replied: Wow !!!

Stay put vibes until DH gets back ...

PrairieMom replied: won't be long now. I suggest you really cherish those little kicks now, they will be gone before you know it. I really miss that.

Danalana replied: I forgot about DH being gone! He will be 6 hours away from here, but only 5 hours from the hospital we will be going to. I think that would be plenty of time for him to come if anything happened. I will take it easy, except for all the things I have to do to get ready! See, procrastination SEEMS like a good idea until you are running out of time and have a million things to do

PrairieMom replied:
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. At least he won't be gone for long.

Danalana replied: Thanks Tara!

A&A'smommy replied: wow girls thats awesome!!! I hope you make it at least another week!!

grandma replied: Sounds as if Kade is ready to breakout...lol
BTW, went to my brother's house Friday for a get together and there were two brothers there...Kade and Cole, I love those names!

Danalana replied: I love those names too!

Danalana replied: I just wish i didn't have to work on Friday...that would be a whole day and night to myself! Friday is my last day before I take a week of vacation and then start my leave...I wish I didn't have to go.

CantWait replied: Stay put till at least next Monday Kade.

Calimama replied:
Call in pregnant.

msoulz replied: LOL, it looks like Anthony's concern in your first thread may have had merit! But I am pretty sure you could still go full term or beyond. I have heard of such happenings. Regardless, do enjoy whatever time you have to yourself this weekend - if indeed you have any!!

mom2my2cuties replied: Dana you absolutely CAN NOT have that baby before I have this one Keep your legs crossed at the knees at least until DH gets home

Danalana replied: LOL, you need to just get a move on!
I figure I'll go another 2 weeks or so...or something.

MoonMama replied: WOOHOO! You are on your way girl! (I know I said that earlier too) I'm just so excited. ~~~~stay for a while longer Kade vibes~~~~

mom2my2cuties replied:
I know I know I know - *points to my tummy* Tell that to her....She is the stubborn one...I'm about to resort to Castor Oil.

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied: That's exciting news!! But I'm wishing you another week or so, just to be sure DH is back.

Crystalina replied:

~~~~~~~Another Week Vibe~~~~~~~~~
