Dropping???

Could it be so? Am I actually starting to drop? Or am I (once again) hallucinating? Compare a picture I took this morning (plaid pants) to one taken exactly two weeks ago...

I sure hope that this is progress, because I have been soooooo uncomfortable the last few days. It feels like I have been kicked in the crotch, and my hips make these lovely crunching noises whenever I stand up. It HAS to be from the baby dropping lower in my pelvis, right??????
