Inch by Inch (or CM by CM)

Good news! Dr. Hagood told your Mom yesterday that she has progressed to 1.5 centimeters dilation and still 50% effacement.

What does that mean?

Really, it means nothing!

You could be born tomorrow, or you could be born in 3 weeks!

But, the numbers are going up, so it looks like we're progressing!

The light at the end of the tunnel is getting bigger and bigger!

But, believe it or not, your Mom actually lost a pound. So, now she's down to 147-- but the Doctor said that's completely normal.

And, the moment of truth: here is your Mom at 37 weeks!

We can't believe that you're almost here!
