37 weeks

This week I am 37 weeks! I went to the Dr. on Monday in hopes of progress! :) As she was checking me, I was looking at her face to see a reaction before there were any words! Then she said.."you are a GOOD 3.5cm dilated and about 80% effaced." My mouth dropped! I could not believe that I had progressed one whole cm in one week. WOW! But the tough news is that she is going out of town for 5 days...sept 23rd-27th, and not just out of town but OUT OF STATE!!!! Gosh, I'm so nervous about that! I have another appointment on Monday and we're going to see if my body has progressed even more. If I've progressed to 4/5cm then she wants to put me in the hospital and see if we can get labor "really" started.
My prayer is that I will have peace about whatever decision is made on Monday, whether it be for me to go into the hospital or to wait a week. And I pray that if it doesn't happen this week, my body will wait for "the time" to be when my Dr is back in town!
