Ahh, I can actually think of things to say in this blog. I've been juggling keeping up with both blogs, but I get to my MySpace blog and just kinda blank out on all the things I had thought to write about.

I guess juggling blogs is like juggling identities, which I will need to learn to do. I'm still me, minus the pregnancy. I'm still Andy's wife, and I'm committed to not losing that aspect of our relationship. I'll be baby's mom, too, and while my life will center around that, I am going to make a concerted effort not to let my entire identity center around it. I know it'll take a LOT of effort, but I want my friends to feel like they can call me up and hang out (while Daddy babysits) and hang out with ME and not feel like all I can talk about is my baby. There's plenty more to me than my roles in life.

I went to the doctor today, and the baby has in fact dropped a bit towards the birth canal. That doesn't mean much more than that he's set to come before, on or after his due date and that until then, I will continue to feel like the bones in my pelvis are cracking. I'm also dilated maybe about as big as a dimple, which also doesn't mean much. I have confirmed that I should not be worried about brain damage resulting from the 4-D theater at World of Coke. So he's still slated to be a genius!

I have not worn my engagement ring since Christmas Eve. I can't get it on my finger. Sad.

My office is having a baby shower for me on the 15th. I'm psyched. They're all like "can you hold out that long?" and I say that my luck, he probably will not come till 2 weeks after his due date, but now that I have something I have to hold out for he will probably come out early. Hmmm...knock on wood, but that sounds great. I'm not expecting it, though...I'm not that lucky! It's nice of them to do that for me, and I want to be around to attend.

If you want to participate in the BabyZone Baby Name Polls knock yourself out. I spend a good bit of my time doing that, as I am obsessed with baby names now. I usually just hit the refresh button if the list is 20 names long (freaking narrow it down to 3 or 4 of your favorites) or when I can't in good conscience vote for any of them (which is often). Sometimes, though, I am just too curious to see the results that I can't help but vote for something horrendous. I also realized that, contrary to how I used to feel, girls' names actually bore me and I enjoy boys' names (I like to see how my baby's first and middle names fare - usually not so bad).

Anywho...maybe I will go do that now ;)
