well, with less than 24 days [yes, i said DAYS!] to go, here's picture of mama's belly tonight - she's begun having slight contractions & has off/on for about a week or so, she's having really bad back & leg pain & also a thinning of the cervix has begun - as of yesterday, she's dropped noticeably & seems to be breathing much better, so it looks like things are right on track & she's doing well
