Appointment Update @ 37 1/2 weeks

So, A & I visited my OB yesterday. We were given updates on the H1N1 and the seasonal flu vaccines. I guess, it is highly recommended that I get one. However, I have a couple of weeks left before I pop this kiddo out that it sounded like it didn't make any sense to get one now. Apparently, it takes a couple of weeks before the vaccine takes effect.

As of yesterday, the kiddo is in position (head down) and I was already 1 cm dilated and 70% effaced. It would have been expected that I'd get nervous upon hearing those words but instead I lightened up and got super-excited. A seemed suspiciously calm upon hearing this.

We also discussed about our birth plan and despite the number of times the doctor mentioned "pain", I was not emotionally affected by it. I think the hypno-relaxation-endorphin-releasing birth CDs I've been listening is working. We'll know if it's really effective when the Day comes.
