so no baby yet... but at our doctor's AP today, she said that i have some signs that we are progressing towards the end (went from 1/2 to 1 centimeter... whoop dee do) - but it really depends on body and baby. some women can be a couple centimeters dialated for weeks and then go into labor. while others only start to dialate once labor starts. i am having lots of contractions and they are getting pretty strong - little more towards the uncomfortable, but still not consistent or really painful.
i decided that there is no reason to take it easy any more - early delivery is no longer an issue and any exercise i get at this point is only going to help (as long as i don't overdo it/deprive baby of oxygen). so i cleaned out the family room today - moved out all the clutter, got things into 3 piles: donate, garage or upstairs. even arranged all of the crazy clutter in the bookcases - don't think those will get done once baby is here so better now than never. the top of the piano was starting to look like storage too- so got that all cleared up. feels better just knowing it is clean.
william and i have different notions of clean. he has a higher tolerance for clutter and dust than i do. however, he appreciates when the clutter is gone. better feng shui for the room. just have to get him to move the stuff in my piles now...

hi joanna - i am so glad you guys are looking at starting a family soon too! someone for Thomas to play with when we visit one another :). i actually don't play the piano - it is my mom's. i decided to take it (she doesn't have room for it in the apartment she shares now) in case our kids decide to take lessons. we'll see if it actually gets any use!
