Lauren isn't walking around the apartment yet (not by herself, anyway), but she's definately taking more steps. At least twice today, she let go of whatever she was holding onto, and took 2-3 steps away from it. She's still quite fond of crawling, though. That kid can haul ass!

I've discovered the trick for getting her to go to bed without any fuss at all. I sit her down in her crib (with her blankie), and although I do whisper that it's time for night-night, I don't make her lay down or anything. I basically act like I'm just sitting her down. As soon as I leave the room, she pulls her blankie close and lays down. No whining, no nothing. (Have I mentioned that she averages 10 hours of sleep a night? Straight through. And several times she's slept 11 1/2 hours. It's very wierd to wake up before she does).

I have been meaning to get up a journal entry, but I just haven't felt well enough. For some crazy reason, I actually put all of my old journal archives back on the server. Of course it's a HUGE undertaking- I've had my journal on several domains since I first started back in '99, and so I've got a ton of links to change. Argh.. and I've password protected everything from 1999 til the end of 2001. I figure it's safer for me that way.

On the pregnancy front, I lost both of my breakfasts this morning. Not fun. I am attempting something this time around (in the first trimester) that I didn't/couldn't last time- sex. Wow. Too bad I can't count on it to be that good the remaining two trimesters.
