1. Apparently sleep regressions at about this age are not uncommon. So at least I can stop racking my brain at 4am wondering what’s keeping him awake tonight.

2. Made a new recipe tonight, and while the boy and I both thought it could do with some perking up, the baby thought it was the most delicious thing ever. Guess that meal just made it into our monthly rotation.

3. I ordered the trees that my darling husband gave me for Christmas. Apples, peaches, cherries, apricots. They’ll be delivered the third week of April. Guess I’d better start digging some holes.

4. An absolutely gorgeous day today. Warm and sunny and last nights rain melted much of the snow. Hadn’t realized I was feeling oppressed by so much gloom and gray, but I guess I was.

5. My husband, who is always very careful of my feelings, but also tends not to say much in the way of “wow, you look smashing,” has commented that I look much the same now as I did before the baby. I’m actually much lighter, (though sadly reproportioned) and while I’ve noticed that I feel like I’m back to my old self, I didn’t think he’d noticed. Seems he did, which makes me quietly very happy.
