Baby Girl Update
Had our dr appt today - starting today we'll have them weekly until, well, she's here :-)
Everything is measuring just fine, heart rates, lengths, etc. Baby girl's head is where it should be (which means the rest of her is also where it should be), my weight is fine... etc.
But the most exciting news of all for me was that her head is definitely lower (although not "engaged" as they like to call it, when baby's head is in the pelvic bone at "0 station") and I'm 1 cm dilated! Woohoo!
Of course, for first time moms especially, it is not uncommon to walk around for - well 2-4 weeks at 1 cm dilated. So it's not like labour is necessarily imminent or anything. But it DOES spell progress! Stuff is happening in there ;-)
In our baby class last thursday one of the women in our class, who happens to be due Aug 1st, mentioned that she had just had her checkup and was 1 cm dilated and I felt the slightest twinge of jealousy ;-)
Anyway - that's the news :-)

Hello,
Was searching for "1 cm dilated" on the Internet and your site came up. Since my name is Timothy and my wife's name is Heather, and we're expecting on August 7th, and my wife is also 1 cm dilated at the moment, I just had to say hello and wish you good luck!! I wonder which "Timothy and Heather" will have their baby first.
Good luck and congratulations!
