My doctor's appointment today went well. I am dilated to 1 1/2 cm and 50% effaced. What that means is pretty much nothing at this point, just that my body is getting ready for labor. The baby has also dropped and his head is right where it's supposed to be. Apparently he still has a little ways more to drop, which will probably happen when I go into labor. I guess that's what usually happens with second and subsequent pregnancies. Thank goodness he's not all the way into 'position' - as it is I'm now up at least 4 times a night using the rest room since he's resting on my bladder!
His heartbeat was in the 140's (perfect), my weight gain has slowed down/stopped, and my bp was 108/70 - very good. We're really nearing the end here...
