Week 26: Getting Bigger and Bigger...


Last week, I had my biggest "change" in terms of baby weight - the doctor says I'm playing catch up. It's hard to believe that there are still three months to go! Here I am last weekend - filling my maternity clothing without any problems! I also had a business trip last week - while the flight was only 40 minutes, I realized I can no longer travel comfortably, and that great back support is more important now than ever before!


Josh and I also decided on a name - Benjamin Michael. Benjamin is the only first name we could agree on (we went through tons of names - some silly, some not) - and it is the only one we both liked. Michael is Josh's middle name.

During the last weekend, my mother-in-law provided us with some great stuff for the baby. We'll be decorating the nursery in Classic Pooh, and he'll look adorable in this outfit a year from now - when he's 9 months old!


She also made two blankets - very productive! One has satin edging, which evidently Josh really liked as a baby.


The other is a Classic Pooh quilt. Here are images of the front and the back:

Now that I have finished my 2007 scrapbooks, I'm going back to knitting a baby blanket. It uses intarsia, a knitting technique I had not yet tried, and I'm about halfway through. I'm now knitting at least a row a night to be sure it is ready before baby Ben makes his appearance!
