who IS this???

cole is obsessed with phones. namely, cells- i don't think he knows that there's any other kind, haha. after months of ignoring kelvin's old flip phone, he's now completely and occupied by it- he gets into this "zone". nice for me, because he stays out of trouble for record lengths of time... yay! thanks to chase for encouraging this little phone thing- no, really, i mean that! thank you!

so proud of his phone...

whoever he was talking to said something funny. wait- who WAS he talking to???

cole's other new form of entertainment is rearranging furniture (read: dining room chairs). he takes after me that way; or maybe he got some infantile form of couvade and is sympathetically nesting with mommy? who knows... but i am constantly tripping over chairs that have mysteriously placed themselves in the middle of high-traffic areas. unless, of course, cole's on the phone- then the chairs stay put. hmmm. eerie!

today is my 28-week appointment, which involves my glucose test. yay. i scheduled it for 3 pm, so kelvin could be there to take cole (he's currently at the sara lee plant in new london, which is literally a few blocks away, and he's been getting out at 2.30). for some reason, this time i'm dreading the scale more than usual. i've been keeping track of my wonderful poundage and it seems to have not crept up as fast this time. still- we women and our weight... my metabolism seems to come to a stand-still when i'm pregnant, because i don't eat much more than when i'm not pregnant and the pounds seem to just pile on... seriously- i eat pretty much the same amount as usual. frustrating. guess i'm just not one of the lucky ones that can eat all they want and hardly gain an ounce. oh, in a perfect world.... *sigh*. anyway, since the weight gain has been surprisingly minimal in the last 4 weeks, i have no idea why i'm so much more afraid of the scale this time. must be the hormones, eh? :)
