Someone's Getting Ready To Come Out

Progress has been made! I had my weekly checkup today, and I am in the early phase of labor (as I said before, the early phase can last weeks). Here's what the doctor reported:

I'm 1 cm dilated, 70% effaced and -1 station. I know that doesn't make sense to most of you, I even had to look up effacement & station to remind myself what they mean. So here is a link that describes all three of those.

The doctor said that she has dropped down more since last week, and she even felt her head when she checked me. She touched my baby's head!!

So, this doesn't mean that she'll be here tomorrow, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. I don't imagine her being past her due date, in fact, I predict an April birthday.
