Connor’s Labor and Delivery Story

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 [...]

Visiting Hours

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.

*sigh*

It is official, the Innovis Birthing Center [...]

An eviction notice has been served.

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 [...]

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 [...]

Movement…

Chris has finally felt the baby kick! Last night the little one was very active and so I put his hand in one spot and he held it there, within a minute or so, baby gave a good series of flutters and kicks.

Chris has to go out of town, and I was worried he wouldn’t [...]

Ultrasound update.

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 [...]

Another belly pic…

Here is the most recent belly pic, taken last night by Chris:

Jaci, 15 weeks and 4 days
