new funny face

cole has taken to making this new face on a regular basis- he tucks his bottom lip up over the top one and just kinda sits that way. what a goof! makes his eyes look even bigger...

last night cole was being a goofball, just having a good old time crawling around. actually, he more crawls over things than around them... instead of going AROUND daddy on the floor, he had to try to go over. in the long run, i think it would've taken less time to go around than over, but whatever. i figure if he wants to climb, he's more than welcome, because then he'll wear out faster and sleep better.

(his favorite game is playing with the bedroom door... easily entertained much?)

speaking of sleep, cole has been doing quite a bit better, although the last two nights i've noticed that if he's up till after 8.30, he's awake earlier and his sleep is more restless, so i guess we've found the magic hour for bedtime! as for my sleep, well, the insomnia is starting already, and the nighttime trips to the bathroom are more frequent. seems that my once high-capacity bladder has been reduced to holding the equivalent of a pea. if i'm lucky. oh, the joys of pregnancy! i don't mind it, really, it's just really hard to get up out of bed without waking cole... i could always hold it, but then a past experience comes to mind involving a high fever, a full bladder and a very realistic dream that turned out to be just that- a dream. the short story? i was in elementary school (just to clarify, it's embarassing enough...), had a rather high fever and had to pee. i THOUGHT i got up and went to the bathroom- i remember squinting in the light, hearing the toilet lid clunk against the tank, even felt the chilly seat on my rear end. however, i soon felt warm all over my back end and legs, and woke up to find that i had had a VERY convincing dream about getting up to pee. needless to say, i now have a great hesitation about just going back to sleep when the urge hits (during pregnancy, anyway).i mean, really, do i want to risk that again, and at my age? nah.
there- i think i just shared the most embarassing story of my childhood with everyone who will ever read this. how daring of me...
