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 [...]
Below you can find what I wrote earlier, before we got to the hospital and was subsequently sent home due to them having a sudden rush of women in active labor. Now I guess we just wait until they call us to let us know we can come in.

This weekend, Sarah and I spent some time getting my office cleaned so that transitioning it to a nursery goes a little more smoothly. We still need to get [...]

Chris has to go out of town, and I was worried he wouldn’t [...]
Today was our ultrasound!
It was amazing to see that little baby that is growing inside me. It definitely made it “more” real, though I’m not sure when I’ll be completely aware, probably not til the little one gets here. Chris was completely in awe, he just watched with a smile on his face as the [...]
Here is the most recent belly pic, taken last night by Chris:
