So I'm still trying to decide how far back I want to rewind. Jake had mentioned something about telling our story; you know, from the beginning. But I feel like that might be something that can be filled in with tidbits of other fun info as we go.
So, I'll start with a funny story from earlier this week.
We live in a small basement apartment that was built in the 1920's so let's just say that the insulation and 'soundproofing' is less-than effective. We hear everything from the upstairs neighbors' weekly fights, to the sound of the claws on their two boston terriers scratching across the floor. It's not bad actually until it hits about 2:30 am and that's when mamma bear comes out of her cave. I already have a hard time sleeping with my belly getting bigger, the baby moving more, going to the bathroom constantly, etc.; so to add to that is extremely unwise. You get the point. ;)
So I awoke the other night to the sound of a rustling sort of crunchy noise that was coming from the closet. I laid there to see if I was dreaming or if it was coming from upstairs and it was too close for either. So I woke up the poor husband and made him go see what it was.
Well, it wasn't in the closet. It was in the windowsill near the closet door. It was a tiny little door mouse that had fallen in and was jumping with all it's little might to get back out, crunching the leaves on his way back down. Now, normally I'm creeped out by that sort of thing but when I saw his round little head, his round little body and his round little ears poking up I kinda gushed for a second!! He was maybe 2 inches big and he was trying so hard to jump out and could only get about 3/4 of the way up. It was so cute in the most creepy way!!!
So my brave husband went out and put some long sticks for him to climb up to get out. By this point I was already losing consciousness again and was back in bed and by the time Jake got back to the window inside the house, the little guy was gone. Smart little thing! Hopefully he ran far away from the house. Otherwise we'll be dealing with a not-so-cute problem.
True Story!!
