The Final Countdown

Happy New Year!!!  The third trimester has flown by and now it's the final countdown until Baby Logan arrives! My due date is tomorrow, January 2nd. I was hoping he'd make his debut in December but he will be a January baby like his father.

For now I'm trying to savor the calm and peaceful silence before the arrival of sleepless nights, baby cries, and recovery from L&D. I take naps. I eat. I snuggle my baby kitty. I'm trying not to take this quiet time for granted but I can't wait to meet the baby! I wish he would get here already. Although, I got a membrane sweep two days ago and it made me realize it's not going to be all fun and games when the time comes. Ignorance is bliss!

My worst pregnancy symptoms have been carpal tunnel syndrome (my hands are tingly all the time and stiff), nosebleeds, and in the past couple weeks I've started to swell.  I've gained about 33 lbs total. Overall it hasn't been too bad but I'm anxious to get my normal mobility back. Forget exercising - I can barely get to the bathroom these days!

I looked through some old baby photos of myself and my brother to imagine what Logan might look like. My brother was definitely the cuter baby. Roy was also a cute baby. I was a little chunk!  Logan will be cute to me regardless, of course.

So the waiting continues....

Wishing everyone success and happiness in 2016!
