where's the baby?

getting ready for bed! kendal loves to snuggle with his mama. and his mama loves to snuggle with him!

this past week, kendal has been having quite a bit of trouble sleeping in his own bed. he wakes up in the middle of the night and is very upset... can't get back to sleep (pacy or no pacy), so he kept ending up in our bed. in addition to kendal not sleeping well, nathaniel also has not been sleeping well. his insomnia is due to the constant coughing, hacking, and nose blowing that seems to be non-stop when he reclines. so he's been getting up and moving to another room so i can sleep without disruption. (which is really nice, except when i wake up and have no idea where he is!!!) so last week's nights went, in general, is by 8 pm, k is in the crib. by 8.30 (or 9.30 on thursday nights - THE OFFICE!) i'm snoring away. by (?) hour, nathaniel will wake up hacking, which may or may not be why kendal wakes up and cries - so nathaniel just gets him and puts him in the bed with me and then goes somewhere else to sleep (since once he starts the coughing, it takes him a while to st0p). long explaination to get to the really short story i wanted to tell... friday morning, kendal was in the bed with me. i'm not sure when he got there, but he was there - he likes to sleep sideways in the bed. so we rolled around for a while, i was trying to get comfortable with a head in my shoulders (or feet kicking my back) and eventually we both got to sleep ok. when nathaniel got up in the morning to take a shower, he said he walked in our room and looked for kendal. since he didn't see him, he figured i put him back in his crib. so he looked in his crib... no baby. where was he? upon further investigation, kendal was found wedged beneath my back. we were both sound asleep. well on friday, i noticed that he cut 2 new teeth (the two upper front). ever since then, he's had no problem sleeping through the night.. in his own bed. he still wakes up at least once and cries, but within 5 minutes he rolls over and gets right back to buZZZZZZZZZiness.

here is kendal after a good night's sleep underneath me...

ok, my second reason to blog. i've gotten in the spirit of purging my junk. this morning, i decided it may be time to start making my christmas cards (since assumably i'll need to also get my baby announcements done pre-christmas). this meant that i had to go through my stamp sets and see what i have... because i don't want to buy anything more (trying to save not spend)! well i noticed that i have TONS of stamp sets that i just don't use. maybe i used SOME of them (like 1 of the stamps in the set) one time or so, but for whatever reason, i just didn't use them like i thought i would. so, i decided to sell them on ebay. (rather, try to sell them.) one of the ones i'm selling is the FIRST set i ever bought! so, melissa, i'm pretty sure that you either already have the sets i'm selling, or you wouldn't use them either (hence why i didn't offer them to you in the first place). but please - anyone, everyone - go to ebay and buy some stamps! (and toys.)
