I am 3 centimeters dilated and 90 percent effaced and the baby is at station 0. This could mean a whole variety of things. I could have the baby tonight or in a week as our midwife told me this afternoon. It means concretely that the cramping I have been feeling has been contractions and that I am completely correct about feeling like the baby is really down. Our midwife felt the baby’s head – I get teary thinking about that. Our baby’s head. It also means that H. is in full speed prep mode. She is currently debating if she should fully vacuum the house or cut up fruit to take to the hospital. What a good wife. I have been given instructions to rest. We will keep you updated. I would not be surprised if all was the same tomorrow but I do hope and know that we will have something exciting to post soon. xoxo

Holy crap! You’re having a baby! This is so exciting, I can’t wait for more news. Make sure you keep posting updates even if nothing changes or we’ll think you’re at the hospital.
