It's baby time!

We’re officially on baby watch. 👶 At 37 weeks pregnant, we’re sharing our final pregnancy update before baby #3 arrives - from fake labor, nesting, and VBAC prep to the emotional reality of saying goodbye to our family of four. We also talk about why Abby feels “trauma bonded” to her OB, the surprising ways pregnancy has changed her, and what we’re most nervous (and excited) about as we prepare to meet our little guy.
