I will begin with a TMI (”too much information”) warning first. There may be details included in this story that some find TMI. You have been warned.
This is also really long. I cherish details and wrote this more for myself, Chris, and Connor. I won’t feel bad if you don’t read it all. Pictures will [...]

So the appointment: I was down two pounds, belly measured at 40.5cm (up 1.5cm from Thursday), cervix 1-2cm, effaced 70-80%, and I don’t remember where baby was in the pelvis, I don’t think she mentioned and I forgot to ask. After the most excruciating pain from her stripping membranes (thankfully it didn’t take nearly as [...]

Dr. Carver estimates the baby is between 8-8.5 pounds, we are dilated 1cm but also 70% effaced and baby is at -2. She “mixed things up down there” (stripped the membranes) [...]

Sarah hosted a shower for me on October 6th in Dilworth (and her mom Nancy helped). It was a lot of fun and a lot of women showed up that I hadn’t seen in a while, some not since high school. We played some games, ate some food, and of course there were the present! [...]
Today officially marks 36 weeks, which means we are entering our ninth month of pregnancy. Woohoo! Our baby class ended last week, and I definitely feel more prepared for this whole *labor and delivery* thing, I think Chris does too. I found out that one couple from the class had their baby last Friday, she [...]

We went to southern MN for a friends wedding on Saturday. It was in a beautiful church and the bride looked beautiful and the groom [...]
