Progress Report

Yesterday, at 37 weeks 3 days, I went to the doctor for my weekly and now internal exam. I was 1cm dilated, 40% effaced (how thinned out my cervix is) , and the head is engaged 3+ (which means the baby's head is nearly all the way down in my pelvis). At this exact time with Hannah I was the same only I don't know about the engagement and I was 50% effaced with her. She came roughly 48 hours after my internal exam.

On a side note, she is sitting here while I type this eating dog food and saying "mmmmmmm"!

Back to the important stuff... Today I have had lots of contractions and at one point this morning felt like I was getting really close. Then I went to work and felt a lot better and am now having few, painless and inconsistent contractions...

So, we play the waiting game... Anyone want to guess when you think Baby Yeager will arrive???
