Thanks!
Awww... Thanks! *Blush*
I had a very nice birthday; we all went out for dinner and had some nice prime rib. Yum! Plus I got an ecard from Drayce *hugs* and birthday balloons from Pink *hugs* and birthday wishes from several people. Yay! And (and believe you me, this is nothing short of a miracle) Hubby remembered that it was my birthday, and wished me Happy Birthday-- without any prompting!!! Seriously, he never remembers anything like this. His own family never bothered (no, not for religious reasons or anything, just too much trouble, bah), so it just doesn't tend to mean much to him. He doesn't remember his own birthday, let alone how old he is (he has to ask me, heh), or when Baby's birthday is, or, until now, when mine is. So double-yay!
And speaking of Baby, a friend with a couple of small children gave me some advice which I have been following to the best of my ability, given our often-erratic schedules, which is paying off: finally he is beginning to sleep through the night!!!!!! You have no idea, unless you have kids of your own, what kind of havok almost three years of short sleep (and by "short sleep" I mean up to six hours spend horizontal, but having to wake up every 20 mins to two hours to nurse etc) can wreak on your system. But last night, he slept straight through for eight-and-a-half hours!!! That's three whole hours more than his best time to date, and roughly six hours more than he's been doing recently. So thank you for the advice, BFA! *snuggles sleeping Baby* *glomps BFA*
Birthday Balloons!
