Well, I got the news I wanted today. After a horribly painful exam, I would've been mad if he didn't have anything to tell me! :-)
OK, so I am officially in the 1st stage of labor because I am:
-- 80% effaced
-- 1.5 centimeters dilated, and
-- baby girl's head has started to descend into the birth canal (-1 station)
However, this stage can last for a few weeks, but this is definitely something. Anyone want to venture a guess as to how long I have? I am assuming it's unlikely that I'd be late since I am progressing???

YIPPEE!!
You know I totally can't guess. That's where I've been for 2 weeks, grrrrr. My next appt. is tomorrow though so we'll see!
But maybe you'll go in 3 days at exactly 37 weeks!
