37 Weeks (Full term)

Big news today...my doctor says we have progressed!  1.5 cm dilated and 50% effaced, and the baby has "dropped".  If you are unclear on baby terminology, this means that my body is preparing for labor, and it's a good thing!  We could still make it to my due date, but there is also a chance that he could come any day.  Tonight we purchased the last few items on our registry, and this weekend we're planning to take care of those details that would be really great to have ready to go before baby's born...charging the cameras, packing the hospital bag, installing the car seats, putting the baby gear in its place, laundering new baby clothes, putting away the items we got at a couple of showers this week, and cleaning the house.  While these things wouldn't go in my category of "fun" normally, they are when you're preparing for a baby!
