Technicals 2

OK, OK...the update.
I had my weekly Dr appt today.
Of course, I was hoping for some progress but I honestly wasn't expecting any. Reason being - in my final 3 weeks with Ava I stayed the exact same- 1 cm dilated, 50% effaced.

WELL, I'm happy to report that there was slight progress! Woohoo!
For comparison sake, at my Dr appt last week I was 1 cm, 70% effaced. Liz said she could feel a definite difference from last week and that my cervix was "very soft". She seemed pretty excited about it actually and said I could go anytime now.

SO, for the record, today I was 1.5 cm dilated, 75% effaced.
Apparently I was "almost 2 cm, but not quite".

Something must be going on. Slowly, but surely.
I went ahead and faithfully scheduled my appt for next Thursday.
I'm hoping that I can spare you a "Technicals 3" post.
