The main idea of this blog is to keep friends and family up to date with the birth of our daughter. I'll try to keep things as simple as possible, but as you probably know, birth is not simple. Depending on the course of labor, I may have the chance to update this blog as we go through the process.
So, an update. Heather went to the doctor today for her weekly visit and came away with a few points of good
news. First and foremost, baby and mama are healthy and happy and that's always the best news. And, they estimated Finley's weight to be between 7 and 7.5 pounds! She is currently in -2 station. For those of you not familiar with the term, station refers to where the baby is in the birthing canal. -3 station is when the baby is “free floating” or where she hangs out most of the time before labor. As she begins to travel through the birth canal, the stations change until her head crowns, or +4 station. The baby is said to be "engaged" in the pelvis when she reaches 0 station. Here’s an animation that explains it a bit more.
So, Finley is at -2 and head-first which is very, very good news. 
Much to Heather’s dismay, the doctor said it could be any time, now. I keep saying she’ll be a week early, which results in a punch in the arm from Heather. But as we all know, as long as baby and mama are healthy, she can show up anytime.
