something to feel good about

sabineNormally, I dislike having measurements taken of my body. I have some issues with how I look and numbers just don't help. Yesterday, however, I was given a number that I feel pretty good about.
1 cm.
I've already heard from my mother how she was dilated to 3 cm for an entire week before I was born, but I'm still excited to know that this pregnancy will be ending sooner rather than later. The dr also estimated yesterday morning that I was about 10% effaced, which is also a good thing.
My dr is on board with my preference of "Let's not make surgical incisions into Sabine if it can at all be avoided". I'm okay with getting meds, but not so okay with cuts.
Also, I'm relatively certain that my mucus plug came out today. I didn't dare do a Google image search to make sure, but based on the descriptions from my doctor and my books, I think this is what they were talking about.
Yes, I know it can come out more than 2 weeks before labor actually starts, but it's progress!
