Hey everyone I just got home from work because I had a docs appt this morning.. Anyhow im 38 weeks. Some good news~~ he said ive thinned out and softened! And that the baby has dropped and was quite low and he said he would be surprised if I made it more then a week tops. (but u still never know) anyhow he said im at '' -1 station'' I didnt know what this meant so I looked it up. I guess when the baby starts desending and getting ready he is at a -4 or -5 and then as the number lowers, the further down he gets. So I guess im pretty low. But then when u go into labor your at a ''0'' station and then when his head is crowning your at a 5. He said my baby was real low tho and that he felt him. He said hes assuming im dialated some but he couldnt reach my cervix good (my uterus is tilted) and he said it would be way to painful because I was already in tons of pain! K.. And now the not so good part.. Well I was only measuring 32 weeks now istead of 38!! He is assuming its because he dropped, but just in case I have an ultrasound scheduled for today. I leave in an hour~ im nervous! But im sure everything is ok its probably just because he dropped and thats what the doc thinks. Anyhow, theres my update!!! I had to get outta work for the appts tho.. I dont wanna go back but I think I might and work the late shift

... Eh I hate work~
