I had a doctor's appointment today and since I am less than 2 weeks from my due date, he checked to see if I was dilated at all. I figured I might be to a 1, possibly a 2 considering the contractions I've been having the last few weeks. With Isaac, I was to a 1 1/2 at this point and a 3 a week before my due date. Well, he checked me and then asked if it was alright if his med student checked as well-I figured I was surely somewhat dilated otherwise he wouldn't have her even try. She tried, but was unsuccessful at coming to a conclusive number. Then he told me I was to a 3 1/2. Holy cow! I really was not expecting that. Funny thing is he said something about going home and telling everyone on Facebook about this. LOL....Facebook is a little too public for this I think so for the 6 of you who actually read my blog, now you know! :) While this isn't any guarantee that I'll go into labor before my due date, it does guarantee less labor time. Woohoo! With Isaac I went from a 6 to a 9 1/2 in 45 minutes. So I'm hoping to get to a 5 before I go into labor and only have a short experience being in labor at the hospital. As for a name update, I have decided on Leah, Jake still has not. Guess he might have to decide sooner than we thought!

I wanted you to know I'm one of the 6 or so people who read your blog...I wish I had been more than a 1 when I went to the hospital to be induced! Leah Chapman has a great ring to it! Will she have a middle name?
That is nice that you are already at a 3 1/2. I hope labor goes fast for you! I went from a 5 to a 9 really quickly as well. My labor was 8 hours, and I hope that repeats with the next one! I like Leah as well.
Each child my labor has almost been cut in half. Hyrum was 12 hours, Payton was 7 and Alec was 4. It's kind of nice when they go quickly. Thanks for sharing your TMI :o) Would you hurry up-we'd like to see cute pictures ASAP!? :o)
Well- this'll be your 4th comment...how exciting! I always hated/loved the appt to check to see if anything was going on! It can either be a big disappointment or a great surprise! I'm glad you got the surprise! Good luck to you...I hope all goes well! I'm excited to see your cute little girl!
I am so excited to meet baby Chapette (as she has been dubbed in our house). Let me know if you need anything. I am so happy for you.
"Would you please stop bragging," says the girl who took 24 hours to get to a 9 :) I can't wait! I still hope it goes fast for you, despite my jealousy!
Jenn- I think you have more than 6 people that follow your blog! :) Good luck with labor and as always we will be praying for little Leah to get her quickly and without any problems.
