Learning to crawl

Last night was one of those nights that experienced parents warn you about when you're seven months pregnant and filled with bliss over your impending arrival.

Oh, the spirit-crushing words of advice that serve no purpose other than to burst your joy: "Get your sleep while you can!" "Enjoy life now!" "You know your life is about to change, right?"

So, anyway, last night: I got no sleep as Aida got no sleep and, come morning, chose to stay home from work in an effort to make up for it.
