i know...

... three posts in one day... but this is a special day! two of those posts are for coy, so i guess we can let it fly this once, hahaha.

so, the biggest thing here, of course, has been our new nephew/cousin, which is pretty obvious! other than that, today has had it's share of interesting events. for starters, cole greeted me with his usual smile, hug AND a kiss! and he only bit a little, which was a major thing for me. he skipped his morning nap, since the afternoon ones seem to be the most crucial; he didn't want much to do with lunch (homemade mac n cheese) so i figure he's started the toddler appetite swings. he usually eats pretty well for breakfast, gets a small snack (only if he's acting like he wants one) and eats fairly well for supper, so i'm not too worried. as long as he doesn't start losing weight, i guess he knows what he feels like, so i'll let him be the boss. lunch was cranky time for mr cole, too- he screamed a little, threw his cup, dumped his spoon, and then fell asleep in his highchair. he couldn't even keep his eyes open while i changed him (clothes and diaper, since he leaked). he fell asleep in record time, needless to say. which gave me the chance to get my shower in before we had to leave for my ob/gyn appointment. the shower was extra nice, since i spent a good 15 minutes going through a very full garbage can looking for my engagement and wedding bands. i took them off yesterday to make bread and forgot to put them back on, and somehow over the course of the day and evening, they wound up in the trash. nice. which meant that i had to dig through old pear peels, cold oatmeal, quite a bit of cole's uneaten lunches, and other miscellaneous cold, slimy gross stuff, but i found both of them. they were promptly scrubbed and put on my finger where they belong. i blame the hormones- first for forgetting to put them back on and second, for allowing them to slip into the trash un-noticed. but, good news- we're almost 25 weeks, so the hormone thing will be coming to an end seemingly before we know it. at least, the worst part of it will be over... i'm measuring at 25 weeks (good) and baby's heartbeat is in the mid 140's (also good), and there were no concerns or anything. my next visit will be the glucose test. yay. so- that's that for our end of things... and like everyone else, i'm just as anxious to see photos of coy. can't wait! keep checking elissa and logan's blog, because i'm sure they'll have some posted before too long. they'd better... !
