Just a quick update:
This past Sunday (Jan. 17th), Chris completely surprised me by proposing in front of his whole family. Although we have discussed marriage many times, I was still not expecting it....especially right now!! I don't remember his exact words but he was very sweet and I'm so excited about our future together! We will be exchanging vows this Sunday (Jan. 24th) in front of Matt and Amanda Balga who introduced us almost 2 years ago. It's such a whirlwind but it's the best thing for us! Eventually, we plan to have a ceremony with family and friends to celebrate.
We also had another check-up with our midwife Gretchen. I still have an excess of protein in my urine but my blood pressure was perfect, which was great news! The best part of our appointment was that she checked me and I'm already 1cm dialated and 80% effaced. I had started to feel some mild cramping the day before our appointment but wasn't really thinking it would mean much....guess I was wrong! It seems that this baby will be coming sooner rather than later :) Technically, I still have 3 weeks before my due date. I just wonder if I'll make it that long!
We have a semi-busy weekend ahead. Tomorrow we will attend an Infant CPR class and then I plan to finish packing our hospital bags. I'm also hoping to get a pedicure and brow wax before tying a few more loose ends in anticipation that we'll soon be meeting baby Miller!
