The end is in sight!

So I had my appointment this afternoon and it was a good one. Yeah! I am between 3 and 4 cm dilated and 75% effaced - which is what I was expecting since I've been up the past two nights with contractions. I also got an induction scheduled for next Wednesday, the 27th. Naturally I would prefer to go on my own, but it is such a huge weight lifted from my mind to know I only have 6 days at most left. 

In other less exciting news, the baby's heartbeat is still in the 160's (good grief!) and my blood pressure was actually a little high. I also have to go in on Monday for a non-stress test since I'll be 41 weeks at that point.  They'll hook me up to a fetal monitor and check for heartbeat, fetal movements and also to see if I'm contracting at all. They'll do that for 20-30 minutes.

So, all in all I am feeling so much better. The past few days have been frustrating, but now I know I'm progressing and I know I will get to meet this baby for sure in less than a week!!!! That's the most exciting part, for sure. :)
