Pregnancy Updates

To all those out there who actually read my blog: sorry I've been uncommunicative. We don't have the internet at home yet. But here's the scoop.
We are moved into our house and about 90% arranged. The baby's room is all ready with the necessities. I won't have the chance to get it all decorated and cute before it comes, but it has what it needs. I've taken some pictures, but I don't have my camera here to upload it.
The baby is not here yet. Maybe I'm silly to feel so impatient when the due date hasn't even come yet, but I am. Yesterday, my midwives told me I'm dilated to a three and about 75% effaced. I thought that was pretty exciting, but it apparently doesn't really mean that much. So I'm still waiting. Is it okay to talk about dilation on my blog? Seems innocuous enough, but you never know. I never knew until I married Joel that some people think saying "I'm pregnant" has an air of inappropriateness to it (as opposed to "I'm expecting.")
As far as the baby's hugeness goes, the follow up ultrasound said that it's still big but the growth has slowed down a bit. Plus, my fundal height measurements have totally evened out. I'm still just relying on the doctors being wrong. That sounds pretty ridiculous, but I just can't imagine having a huge baby. We'll see.
Anyway, life is good. Hopefully my next entry will be announcing the baby, and hopefully it'll be soon!
