38 Weeks...

At my doctor visit last week, I learned the following:

• I'm negative for Group Beta Strep. That's huge, since it doesn't guarantee that I will need an IV the instant I arrive at the hospital to deliver.
• I'm a teeny bit dilated.
• I'm 50-70% effaced.
• The baby hasn't dropped yet.

All this adds up to some progress but no real indication that the baby is going to make an appearance before her due date.

However, since that visit, I've had quite a few contractions, including some that were worth writing home about. So who the hell knows.

Just in case, I got her room ready, at least ready enough to bring her home and use. That's all the news from my nether regions.
