Stats:

BP = 109/78
Pulse = 102
Weight = 149

The baby's heartbeat was 147. My belly measurement is 34 cm.

My hemoglobin was good and I got a test for Strep B and STDs as required by the state.

This visit also included a cervix check to see if anything is happening. And guess what, it is! Here's the big news.

I am 1 cm dilated (out of 10) and 50% effaced. Several visits ago they diagnosed me with a "shortened cervix" so I think I had a head-start on the effacement part.

The doctor said that the baby's head is down and engaged - heh, I already knew that. :)

The doctor seemed to think that I might go early given current signs. That really puts things in a whole new perspective, doesn't it? It means missing Labyrinth with my good buddy Cristin. Poop.

Hehehehehe. :)

Hrm. Dave can manage for 2 hours can't he?

Heh! We'll have to see, maybe I can bring the baby and keep him on my boob the whole time so he doesn't cry. :D

The wait is maddening, isn't it? It starts early and lasts as long as it lasts. It sounds like you are ready, and I hope your son is ready soon too, given the current predictions. You're in my thoughts!

Oh thanks! I was waiting to hear you weigh in. :)

You're one of few, or maybe the only one, who would try it and I heart you for it:)
