Nikki and Dan's baby

The 'pregnancy ticker' says 8 days. But since Nikki has been schlepping around at 3-4 cm dilated, and the baby is at -2 station, for two weeks now, it's about time for something to happen.

For those uninitiated in late pregnancy terms: The uterine cervix has begun to dilate - 10cm means the cervix has 'disappeared' and the baby is ready to be born. Also -2 station means the baby has begun to descend into the birth canal; -4 station is 'crowning', and the baby's head is appearing at the opening. But being on the launch pad for TWO WEEKS? Nikki is treading the edge of sanity. :)

Labor may be induced on Monday. Stay Tuned!
