No progress to report at the latest checkup: still 0cm dilated, and the baby's head still hasn't entered the pelvis. The doctor ordered an ultrasound so she could verify that the baby wasn't breech or in any other position that prevented him from descending. The ultrasound confirmed that he's head-down. So we continue to wait. It was discouraging to find out that there had been no progress whatsoever.
It was nice to at least see the baby on ultrasound again, but at this size, there was very little to make out. The only things we could see clearly were his spine and his man-tackle. According to the tech, he has a good amount of hair, he's short, and he's chubby.

I remember a similar feeling of frustration around this time for us when the doctor said nothing had changed since last week.
Any of those things could change very quickly, so hang in there. Soon enough he'll be here, so relish your last few days of simple living.
Effacing is a good thing! For a first-timer, full effacement tends to happen before dilation starts, so don't discount the progress you're already making!
And I'll ditto Bud and encourage you to enjoy these last opportunities to get out and about with the ease that you won't know again for years to come. ;)
