Most readers will know that I'm a relatively numerate type. For those who share my numerical orientation, here is a quantitative update on my pregnancy.
1 and 100% - As of this morning's OB appointment, I am 1 cm dialated and 100% effaced
0 or 3 - My doc thinks I could give birth today or 3 weeks from today. It's really up to BabyBear.
5 - The number of workdays standing between me and maternity leave.
25 and 3 - I've gained 25 pounds to date, losing 3 pounds of water in the past week.
32 - The number of minutes it took me to park, pee on a stick, see my OB, and exit the hospital parking lot this morning. I love an efficient physician.

That's so funny. I just did a numbers theme in my blog today too. Weird.
Pee on a stick... isn't that a pregnancy test? And aren't you kind of, you know, obviously pregnant at this point? I guess I have a lot to learn about the whole pregnancy thing!
Yes, Tracy, one does pee on a stick to determine one's pregnancy status. Once that question has been cleared up, one uses another stick-based test to gauge glucose and protein in the urine.
I take this test at each OB appointment. It's quite funny to see 20 women waddling down the hospital corridor with pee-soaked sticks in their hands. We've all lost any sense of polite modesty at this point.
