ten percent

Nathan and I made a trip to the doctor this morning. Everything was great, except the midwife was asking why my sugar levels were so high...I told her about the frosted mini wheats this morning but not about the huge amount of monkey bread I ate yesterday afternoon. Haha! I guess I need to watch it a little closer these last few weeks. I really don't want to go over 40 pounds, and I was at 39 today. Oopsie. No more monkey bread for me. Anyway, she checked my cervix (which I had no idea would be so painful!) and let me know that I am one centimeter dialated. First I thought that just meant nothing, like one cm is the starting point, but she assured me that it was a good start and my body seems to be preparing well for labor. So I'm ten percent on my way to this baby coming out! :) Of course, this was the painless ten percent...I barely feel the contractions; it just feels like my stomach turns into a tight ball but doesn't usually hurt exactly.
