Today's doctor appointment was much more encouraging than the last, probably because I'm only 6 days away from my due date. Ha! Anyway, she said that she can feel the baby's head since I'm STARTING TO DILATE. Hooray! It's really not much but it was good to hear. I knew there had to have been some progress since she is so low, causing a lot of pressure and I've been cramping, which I guess are contractions (you'd think I'd know this). It's kind of hard to wrap my brain around what our life is going to be like in a week, but I'm pretty excited!
