long time, no blog!

Well, I have a very large, contented and sleeping tabby cat on my right arm, so since it's rather frustrating hunting and pecking with my left hand this will probably be pretty short. Everything is going well, I've gotten a bunch of wonderful gifts from my Mom and my Aunt Hillary that I am incredibly grateful for. (yay, adorable tabby shifted position!). Of course, now he is sleeping on my mouse--oh well. Matthew is doing good; we have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Based off of my last visit I should be 28-29 weeks along, so just entering my 7th month. He is incredibly active! My belly is HUGE! And it's a big food magnet. I should wear a bib! I have been practicing with baby slings/carriers that my Aunt sent me, and I think I've pretty much gotten it down. I need more practice with the carrier because I am using Fampty, my teddy bear, as a surrogate baby, and he is rather light and I tend to toss him around dangerously while adjusting or taking off the carrier. I wonder if they sell neck braces in "just born" sizes...
Work is going along well, I am getting a lot of practice being a groomer and it looks like I should be 100% done with my field training before I have to go on maternity leave. Working is still no problem for me because I can sit down and rest whenever I want, and I am only grooming small dogs.
I'll post more tomorrow after my OB/GYN appointment to let everyone know what is going on, and I am really sorry about the lack of posting that has been going on! I've been pretty busy at work and when I come home, all I want to do is eat and sleep. And watch TIVO'd episodes of Birth Day. There was an episode on recently about a baby born at 28 weeks, which is what I am now. With respitory assistance, she was breathing on her own within a day, and she was doing very well. It's really encouraging to know that from now on, if he is born he will most likely live a perfectly healthy life and be normal.
Tomorrow, after my doctor appointment, I have to go pick up a birthday cake and go to the next town over to meet my friend at a park near her house to help set up a suprise party for her oldest daughter who just turned 7. She doesn't think she is getting a party, so this will be nice. I figure I better get out all my girly girl urges before my little boy is born! If he does end up having girly-girl tendancies I probably won't know for about 13 years or so anyway so it's still over a decade of Power Rangers, GI Joes and Cops and Robbers. Much more fun than princesses and fake tea. (gag). But there's still an urge to do girly things so luckily for me my best friend has two girls. Yay! Well, nothing else new is going on, so I'll post again tomorrow! Goodnight!
