My last doctor's applintment was last Friday (2 days ago). The initial plan was to listen to the baby's heartbeat (as usual) and to check my cervix to see if anything has changed. But while the doctor and I were talking she asked me if I've experienced any contractions, and I told her "no." She then explained that because I wasn't yet having any contractions it was very unlikely that my cervix has changed any, and because of that we decided that the cervical check was unnecessary.
I will go back to the doctor next Friday... and every week until Maddison is born. I still haven't had what I would call a contraction. I've had pressure, but not an out right contracting pain. I figure I'll know it when it happens, and that has yet to occur. But all of this is good news for me and Dustin. If we had our choice we'd much rather Maddie not come early. I want her lungs to be fully developed. Plus we've heard through the grapevine that babies born later are generally more happy than babies who are born early. Who knows if that is true. That was pretty much the same grapevine that kept telling me I have having a boy. All I know is that we're on God's and Maddison's time frame... I'm just the vessel. Whenever she's ready to make her appearance, she'll let it be known.... and then I'll let you all know ;)
