Eleven weeks already?
I keep meaning to update but the days just don't have enough hours in them.
Baby is doing very well. She slept through the night for the first time on Christmas Eve, which was a great gift for me, and she's been pretty consistent since then. The tradeoff is that she rarely naps for more than half an hour at a time during the day (yesterday I think she had half an hour total), which would be fine if she wasn't tired and crabby for a large portion of it. But she is smiling a lot now, almost laughing and being altogether endearing.
In other news (of which there is little), I'm taking a work-related online course. This is, in my opinion, a boondoggle, but I have to pay to take an "official" course to be "qualified" as a French teacher even though I've been doing the job for years and have a degree in it. Still, it has to be done if I ever want a permanent teaching job here, and while I'm not looking at the moment (I have maternity leave until the end of October and then I'm hoping to do substitute work part-time until she's a bit older) I thought I may as well get it over with. But I'm not used to being the one who has to do the assignments.
My two great discoveries of recent times are "Downton Abbey", playing on Masterpiece Theatre at the moment, and Regretsy. Normally I disapprove of website that exist to make fun of other people, but when the people in question are trying to make money by reselling old coat hangers I think they deserve it.
So, what's new with you?
