Baby boy might be here sooner than later......

I had my 33 week check-up today and surprisingly I was already 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced (which means my cervix is thinning). They hooked me up to monitor my contractions for about 20 minutes and the contractions I did have I knew I was having....they wanted to see if there were more contractions that I was unaware of. My doctor said she is not overly concerned at the moment but put me on partial bedrest and I was told to cut out most all of my activities. I go back on Tuesday for another checkup. If I am dilated more she'll most likely put me on bed rest.

Our goal now is to get to 36 weeks (same time Amelia was born). This news could be much worse or I could not be as far along as I am — then I'd be really nervous. But even if I can make it to 35 weeks I will feel much better about everything and his lungs will most likely be completely formed and ready for breathing on his own.

I'll keep you all updated. Wish us luck.
