can't sleep

so i haven't been sleeping much lately (which, if you know me, you know is normal). last night after dinner i decided i wanted to start this sun hat i had been wanting to make for baby t. it went pretty smoothly (even though i was making it up as i went!) so i kept going. and going. and going. i finished it and started getting ready for bed when i realized it was after midnight! and once i laid down i was still wide awake.
anyway, i am really happy with how it turned out, even though it's not the most perfect thing i've ever done. now that i've done it once, and figured out the kinks, it will only get better. i had originally planned to put a button on the top (on both sides) in the opposite fabric, but once i started to add them i decided not to. what do you think? does it need a button?







and here are some more pics of our trip to brighton beach/coney island.







and this week's baby bump. i started the 3rd trimester this week!
