31 days and counting....

It seems like a lifetime ago that I shared the big news that I am having a baby. Now I have only 31 days until D-Day. The baby is looking healthy, and even better, small! Andrew and I both were small babies so it looks like our little guy is following the family tradition. He does, however, have a new name...well at least its been  narrowed down to two: Logan Asher Joseph Mack or Logan Asher Mack. Many of you may know that Logan is my maiden name and Joseph is a family name for the Partridge clan. So this way, Andrew and I both can honor our families.

I recently had a check up and everything looks good. I need to eat a bit more, but baby looks fine. I am having regular practice contracts. They pretty much feel like your stomach tightening into a rock. But currently there is no pain. I just feel like I have abs of steel every ten minutes. Starting next week I have graduated to weekly doctors visits.

The nursery is still very much a work in progress. In this coming week I will begin making the bedding. That's right, I said making the bedding. Its a bit ambitious and quite frankly, I'm freaking out! But who knows, it may be a master piece...or a piece of crap. Fingers crossed!

I do apologize for the lack of writing but "there's been a lot going on" or "I've been really busy", all of which is code for, I'm getting a divorce...8 months pregnant. I don't plan to discuss it any further on this blog, since this, in my opinion, is not the platform for such matters. But since this is a defining point in the pregnancy, and my life, I do think it is worthy of note. This is never how I imagined things and I'm just as shocked as everyone else that this is the path my life has gone. But apparently, we humans are very resilient, and while I currently feel like I'll never survive, I'm sure I'll be OK.

So, since we are down to the wire, I hope to keep you all updated...more than once every 12 weeks! I did have some pregnancy pictures taken and that turned out pretty good. Here's a small sample:






There are more, but lets just say they are a bit more intimate. But they are very very beautiful. And yes, my jeans are buttoned!
