well, maybe not so much progress. apparently, i am in the latent (or very early) stage of labor:

Early or Latent Labor
During early labor, you will probably be relatively comfortable. It is generally the longest part of the birthing process and may last anywhere from one to three days. During this time you may experience contractions that are mild or moderate, generally lasting anywhere from 30 to 45 seconds. These contractions may also be irregular in nature, and may stop and re-start again.

During the early phase of labor most women will dilate to 3 cm. During this phase of labor taking a warm shower may help you relax. Try to sleep if possible to prepare for the active stage of labor.

If you are interested in speeding up the labor process, consider going for long walks which might help move the baby further into your pelvis.

Most women will be able to talk and function relatively normal during this phase. You can typically enjoy this part of labor in the comfort of your home. Traditionally early labor is longer for first time mothers than it is for moms who have given birth previously

I am at -2 station, 60% effaced and still a fingertip dialated. baby did drop a bit since last week though.

what made me sad today was finding out that someone who was due after me gave birth already. im jealous!
