LOW RIDER

Sean's Family (sister, grandma, and mom)



My Family (sister-in-law, mom, and sister)



I had my weekly doctor’s appointment on Friday (September 23), and she checked my cervix.  Nothing has really changed since the last cervix check (September 6) – the cervix is still closed and CG is still “ridin’ low.”

Kristi, my sister, and Meggan, my 19 month old niece, came in town this weekend.  Even though I was lying on the couch most of the time, it was so fun getting to spend time with them.  Meggan definitely provided the entertainment, and Kristi patiently provided the in-person parenting advice as Sean and I bombarded her with questions.

There was a time during this process when I wasn’t sure if I would be able to experience a shower.  I feel very blessed to have had the opportunity to have two showers in my honor and to celebrate CG’s upcoming birth with my friends and family. My second shower was on Saturday and held at my parents’ house. (The doctor gave me permission to travel short distances!)  My sister-in-law, sister, and mom planned this exciting event.  I am very appreciative of their flexibility, creativity, and attention to detail because the day could not have been more perfect.  It meant the world to me!  

I am 33 weeks today, but it was last week that was a huge sigh of relief.  At 32 weeks the baby reached major developmental milestones, which help the baby to survive outside the womb.
