Go for a walk, contractions pick up a bit

Watch an online show with dave, pausing for contractions. during the show they start coming every 5 min and are lasting around a minute

Wow! AWESOME. So absolutely amazing that you have another life, another baby! So it went pretty fast I'm glad for your sake! I hope you are doing well. I can't believe you're blogging already!! If you guys need anything just let us know, we'd be happy to take Avery off your hands if you need some rest over the weekend.

Congratulations!!!! She is SO beautiful.

And just a little fun fact, she shares the same birthday with a little soccer buddy named Taylor Vander Wal (also known as Renee Dalbey's new daughter!!!)
