Quick Update

Well, I'm 26w2d pregnant.... less than 100 days to go! That is very exciting. The baby has been moving a lot lately. He seems to kick the most at night when I'm trying to fall asleep. MrKLB likes it because then he can feel him kick while I'm laying in bed... I'm not so fond of the timing because I want to sleep. I'm glad he's moving around, though, to remind me he is in there and growing strong!

MrKLB is officially unemployed this week. The job search has started but it is going slowly. There are jobs out there, but not that many. I hope he starts getting some responses back soon, though, so that he doesn't get discouraged. It's hard when you apply for jobs and send out resumes and hear nothing back.

In the meantime, MrKLB is working hard on the glider and ottoman for the nursery. He did finish completely stripping the paint from all the pieces and has put all of the coats of stain on it. Once that drys for a few days he'll have to put several coats of polyurethane on it. Here are a few more in-progress pictures:

This is the chair completely stripped of white paint:


Here is the back of the chair with a few coats of stain on it (not completed):


And here are the rest of the pieces of chair and ottoman with a few coats of stain (not completed):


My mother is now working on re-covering the cushions for the glider and ottoman, so I'm excited to see those when she is done!

Let's see... other than that, we are working on getting the materials we need to make the curtains and bedding for the nursery as well as some other decorations for the walls. I'll post pictures as we start to decorate the nursery.
