Mini Update - 26 weeks

Howdy...I just started my 27 th week and as of October 19, exactly 3 months our little one is due! Yeah! :) These pics are from last week. Things still going smoothly for us here. Last week I had a stretch of days off work to get some organizing done around the house. I definitely put the time to good use, but still got to sleep in. This little boy has been kicking the crap out of me and as he gets to be bigger and bigger, I think by 9 months he's gonna crack my ribs! ( Don't laugh, that happened to a girl I work with!! ) We bought paint for the nursery and hopefully will get to work on that more here in the next few weeks, but David is busy with church obligations and of course HUNTING season is here! Probably the best news I have is that after 3 years of being on a floor at the hospital that I really dislike, I FINALLY got a position in the NICU! I've been trying to get into OB/Labor and Delivery, but have been unable to do so, so I thought why not try NICU. So PRAISE the LORD he has blessed me with this position. I just don't know at this point if I will be starting sometime right after Thanksgiving or waiting until after maternity leave. Either way, I'm outta there! YEAH!While I was working around the house, I caught 3 of our 4 animals sleeping together on the couch. I couldn't resist snapping the picture! We love em to death! I swear our kitty Holly thinks she's a dog!
This is a picture of Abigail Arbaugh again ( previous pics on the blog from her in NICU). She's doing well and is now 5 months old! She's a sweetie pie and will have a playmate here shortly! :)
First off, I absolutely HATE this picture, but David was there and I was actually wearing "real clothes" so I had him take it. Just look at the belly, not the face and hair!
During my time off work I wanted to make something for a baby, and although I know how to knit a blanket, I think it would honestly take me until the child was 5 before I could get it done! So I resorted to a much less domestic project with the fleece blanket. As you can see, one side is a dk blue ( darker than this picture makes it look) and the other side is striped. It took several hours to do, but I was pretty happy with the results. It's a good size and nice N warm! Hopefully he likes it! I know the cats do!
