Pregnancy Update

I am exactly 35 weeks today. I went to my doctors appointment, and since I went into labor early with Bostyn, they did a pelvic exam today instead of waiting until next week. I am dilated 2 centimeters and 80% effaced and the baby has dropped. Looks like another 36 week delivery! No complaining here! My doctor told me I need to take it super easy so that I can make it to 36 weeks- that's the safety zone.

For those of you who didn't know or don't remember, I was dilated to a 3 and 100% effaced at 35 weeks and 5 days with Bostyn. I went into labor the next day and they gave me a shot at the hospital to stop it since I wasn't quite 36 weeks. I went to my doctor's appointment 2 days after that and was dilated to a 7 so the doctor followed me to the hospital and she was obviously born that day. My doctor said afterward that I went early either because I worked on my feet everyday the whole pregnancy or because that's just how long my body carries a baby. Since I didn't work a single day of this pregnancy, I officially don't carry babies full term. Once again, not complaining.

So time will only tell exactly when this baby will be here, but I can guarantee it won't be in 5 weeks!
