once again, cole woke up happy. he usually does... and he slept a LONG time, too, almost 11 hours. he even took a nap yesterday, which was amazing. he fell asleep on the way home from the winter meeting, and even though he woke up, walked around (crying, of course) and survived a diaper change, he went back to sleep and slept for almost 2 hours. that's amazing... he NEVER goes back to sleep in his crib after conking out in the van! and then the amost-11-hour night on top of it... lucky me!
of course, the morning just wouldn't start right without the famous "cheese face"...
cole likes to "share" his grabby... yes, his blanket has a name. it started over a year ago, when we discovered he loved to clench this particular blanket in his tiny little fists and just kind of knead his fingers in it. plus, it's green- that's where the first half of the name comes from. weird, i know, but at least when he asks for grabby, we'll know exactly what he wants!
grabby overboard!! anyway, it's almost 9 am- i've been up since about 7, and since then i've made at least 2 dozen trips up and down the stairs. i'm exhausted. must be the hormones making my brain even foggier than usual... next house we get is going to be a ranch. i used to LOVE the idea of a two-story house, and until i got pregnant, still liked it. now i can see the reasoning behind a single-story home. oh well- the moving around should be good for getting things going; it's WAY too cold to even think about going out for a walk. after a day or so of "new" cramping and strong (but irregular) contractions, i'm hoping my appointment on wed. will show some change/progression. we're definitely ready to meet this little girl- i think she might be getting a little impatient too, judging from the frighteningly vigorous squirming. sorry, little one- mommy's belly was made to stretch, but not like THAT!! yikes.

What a great way to start a day with a cheesy grin from Cole like that!!:) Also I like the green striped wall
Hey.. I just realised that we will most likely be in MT when the little lady arrives :-( Anyways.. for your sake, I wont ask you to wait till we get back! Oh and btw... Im loving the room decorations too! Cute! We need to see your house sometime!
what a cute room, Lindsay!!! Did you do the painting?
again, thanks! yes, i did the painting- i finished it about a day and a half before cole was born... the walls are textured, too, and the only thing that's still missing is the trim. ahh, minor details... :)
