CNS - I'm sorry you're going through that with your partner. Remember to take care of you in all of this. And if somehow you can get a break? Though breaks can be easier said than done, least for me.

Thanks about the blanket. I am really trying. You know what's interesting? Hearing it's a girl was so difficult for me. It cut deep into my griefs. After a little bit of time now, it's actually helping come to terms with it all. Like I'm not just accepting it's a girl, but that it's really a baby. I don't know if that made snese. So I'm kind of excited for the blanket. I get my yarn today I think! Nervous to start, too.
