progress!

We had a doctor appointment at the hospital today, and thank goodness we got the head doctor in charge! She looked over my chart and even did an internal exam! She said that I am partially effaced and dilated 3 centimeters, so that is good! She started to talk about scheduling an induction for next week, but Tyler spoke up and reminded her that I have gestational diabetes. She quickly changed her mind and suggested we get him out asap... so she called the delivery suite and scheduled me in for tomorrow morning (March 31)... unless it is "chockers" then I will have to wait until a room is available. Before I left they swept my membranes and also monitored Parkers movements for 20 minutes to make sure he was still a happy camper and he was, so that is good. In the morning, they will break my "waters" and if that does not start things up... they will use a synthetic hormone to get things rolling. We are still aiming for a water birth because everyone agrees that will be best for my joints. So... we are making progress and that is a very good thing.
