lately

lately,
inkpony is progressing, making sales, growing
snow is in flurries while we sit back and wish for feet
alasdair is copying, even words from the radio
...and expressing interest in going 'pee-pee'
the little lady is growing and expanding my ligaments, causing some pain
koia is basking in the snow's cold nature
morley is merely standing beside her
red is loving a new life indoors

and, ben and I, we are happily once again enjoying (almost) a full night's sleep

yes, after 17 months, alasdair has finally decided that sleeping through the night is beneficial for us all. some said it would take time. it has, it did, and the memories of sleepless nights are blurry now---thank you, little man. sleeping through the night also indicates a major drop in nursing, which rocks because these days it's more of a joke than anything, anyway. we're down to about one nursing 'session' a day--in the evening, in the bed. it's been a vvVerrrRRy gradual transition.

I never reported that when we had the ultrasound all was quite well with the girl. she's developing, as they do, and the doc there said that we're "officially" due on the 21st of april... as opposed to my "self-diagnosed" date of april 29. like the 9s, you know. so, that puts us around the 24th, again. I wouldn't go for any earilier, as alasdair was 15 days late and that wait was almost painful. just cause I was so eager.

well, the boy woke up a while ago---time to get. get on now, get. to the making of breakfast I go.
some photos... she and he. aye, a scratch, though not from a dog---thank goodness. they'd be out in the snow for good.
20 weeks.
