37 Week Dr Visit

This morning we had our 37 week visit to the doctor. Little Kaden is officially considered a full term baby now, and can be born at any time he gets ready. My cervix were checked today, and I am effaced 75% (I was 50% in the hospital just after Christmas) and not dilated yet. So, we have made a little progress but not enough to start any labor. I have been cramping a lot since leaving the doctors office today though, probably from being checked, I'm not sure. Also, my Mom went with me today since Lance is working, he hated to miss this appointment, and I hate not having him with me. However, my appointment for next week is on Wed. as well, so he will not be able to go then either, and my due date is on a Wed, so we have 2 more weekly check ups on Wed. and then the following Wed will be the due date. If little Kaden has not decided to be born between now and then, we will be induced the morning of the 4th so he can share his Daddy's Birthday with him! 3 weeks to go, we can't believe it!!!

If you do get induced on the 4th...no guarantee little Kaden will come on the 4th. I started on the 3rd. Hopefully, he will listen to his mama though!!! Plus, he and Brenden will also share a b-day! How exciting, you are getting so close! He will be here before you know it and you will wonder what you did without him before! (Other than sleep! LOL)

Congreats on making it this far. Kaden is already a smart little boy to behave himself inside his incubator. I hope you are taking it easy. Keep us posted. No matter the distance - I'm still sharing some of your excitement.
