Flurry is still good at telling us when it is time for bed.  I had wanted to trim up one more side, but she wasn't moving.  So I went to bed.

Saturday: nostrils, take 2

According to the poll, 88% (15 people) breathe out of both nostrils

According to the internet, 85% of people breathe out of one nostril.

There is a discrepancy.  But a few people I've talked to are positive they breathe out of both nostrils.  If this stands true for everyone it means that for once I'm not weird; most of you are.

Friday: 21 weeks, couch

Here's the bib in the mouth that I was talking about yesterday.

And the 21 week picture.  We finally managed to get a smile.

Our new couch came today!  We were going to put it against the wall, but it looked terrible.  This way looks much better.

Thursday: laughter

As I was changing Isaac's diaper this morning, he stuffed his bib in his mouth.  While this is becoming a normal occurrence, it struck me as extra funny and I laughed.  Isaac laughed back at me.


I also helped Cheryl with some flowers and weeds today.  It was a beautiful day.  Warm with a slight wind.  And Grandma watched Isaac so that we could actually get some work done.  It was awesome.  I'll admit, I my favorite part is pulling weeds when there are a lot of weeds to pull.  I like seeing the difference between the beginning and the end.

Wednesday: mall

Today Isaac and I met some friends at the mall.  I had a great time...it was fun to catch up and watch the kids and just hang out.  But I probably should have left a little earlier.  I was exhausted by the time we got home.  Luckily, Isaac felt the same way.  He was up for just a short while longer and then we both took a very nice nap.

Tuesday: a problem

Do you see our problem?  (And only having blurry pictures isn't the problem.)

Apparently I didn't do wash fast enough this cycle, so the only bibs left were gigantic or not Tuesday.  I wondered how long it would take until I had to put the wrong day on, but I thought it would be longer.

My plants are growing.  The left two are beans and the right one is lettuce.

Monday: sleep

Last night Isaac finally decided he didn't need to wake up every hour, and it was wonderful.  The last week and a half or so has been rather rough.  He kept escaping from the swaddle so we finally just removed it.  Which helped some, but then every time his pacifier fell out he woke up.  Needless to say, Ben and I were both getting tired of it.  It's amazing how a few uninterrupted hours of sleep can make the day go so much better.

What did I do differently last night?

*He seemed very tired going to bed

*I put him in a onsie instead of pajamas.  It was warm out.

*He started sucking the palm of his hand.

*The stars aligned just right.

Hopefully tonight will go well too.  The beginning has gone well, so I'm going to take that as a good sign.
