I'm Going To Have This Kid Soon!

I am 1 centimeter dilated and 70% effaced. What does that mean? I'm not exactly sure, except my body is prepping to eject this kid from my womb. I feel bad because Hayden's had it really good in there. I kind of imagine it like a cushy little waterbed with a built in food system. He gets to eat in bed - and believe me, he's eating better now than he will when he leaves.
