What a lovely day today. Eve slept through
the night again and woke up around 6am. I was up at 5am to pump
(she lasts longer than I do!), then back to bed, up again at
6am to nurse, then she fell asleep so we went back to bed again
at 6:30. I laid down figuring I’d be up again in a few minutes
with Lex, but he slept until 7:45 (!!!) and then Alan got up
with him, so I ended up getting up for the day at 9:15am!!
Amazing. Eve was still sleeping and Alan and Lex were outside,
so I got a nice shower (I can’t remember the last time I got up
and right into the shower) and got dressed before Eve woke up.
Alan and Lex were outside all morning. I nursed Eve, then
grabbed a blanket and the newspaper and spent awhile outside
reading the paper and watching the kids play. It was great!
Alan is off to work now, so I’m on my own this afternoon, but
man what a great way to start the day!

Jim & Julie came up to visit yesterday (sparing us a
trip to MA this weekend) and with them they brought wonderful
news — a baby due in December!! Yay! I’m so excited! I like
babies :) So send your happy, healthy baby thoughts their
way.
