I just got back from my 37-week appointment at the doctor's.

Here are my stats for this week:
- blood pressure: 113/72
- weight gain since last week: 0 lbs.
- William's heart rate: 137 bpm
- dilation: 3-3.5 cm
- effaced: 90%
- test for Group B Strep: negative

The doctor was pretty impressed, and I think surprised, by the progress from last week to this week. He said the baby's head is very low. Although I could really stay at this level of dilation and effacement for weeks yet, I think William is getting ready to arrive within the next week. At the end of the appointment, the doctor said "See you next week, if we don't see you before then!" (That's not why I think William will arrive early.... I'm really just hoping that we will see William soon :-).
