Doctor

This appointment was a lot faster than last week. We were home half an hour after my appointment! Things went pretty good. My cervix was off to the side a little bit so that sucked when he was trying to figure out what I was at. He asked what I was at last time and he started to say a 2 but we told him and he said, yeah, you're a 3 - 3 1/2. Apparently my cervix is moving forward meaning he's dropping to get ready. So hopefully that means I'll go into labor on my own. I'm good waiting until June though. They always say something when I'm there about how they feel for me but in all honesty, I am having a great pregnancy and am just fine waiting. They're really nice though and I love going there. It was funny because while we were talking to the doctor when he checked me he told me I need to go garden. We laughed and said I had been doing that the last two nights and it obviously hasn't worked! Speaking of garden, I'd better get pictures of that posted!
Also, the doctor talked to us about an option to help with money. He said as long as I have a good delivery (so basically like Crue's) they can discharge me after 6 hours instead of waiting 24 hours. He already wrote me the prescriptions that I would be getting after the baby is born. If I want to stay in the hospital I can if there's empty rooms and basically pay room and board so that I'm there while the baby is (since they keep him 24 hours for the testing). I guess the only difference is that I have to take my own pain medication rather than the hospital charging $5 a pill every time a nurse has to give me something. I don't know how much it really is but it's a lot cheaper if I do it myself than to have to pay for the hospital to do it. I'm excited for that. My doctor is always trying to think of ways to help save us money and make it so that we are excited for the baby and not so worried about the money part. It's been really nice.
