Yes...I'm still talking about it.

Sleep, that is. Brody has had another string of wakeful nights, but we had a serious conversation last night on the changing table while I put him in his pajamas. We talked about how sleep is very important and his days will be much more fun if he sleeps better at night. I even placed my hand on his head and we prayed about it. Zac told me later that is a biblical sign for the transmission of sins, and I was actually symbolically imputing my sins on Brody, but whatever....that's beside the point. The point IS that he only woke up 2 times last night, once was very brief and the other was just a quick feeding! Woohoo!

And Karla, I know you are reading this. We got your note and sleep deprivation is NOT a good reason to delay childbearing. You should just have 3 kids in 4 years like me. That way, if you haven't slept through the night for 4 years, it's not so shocking to the system when you have a newborn :). Just kidding, I'm not that sleep-deprived.

And, the even bigger news around here is that we are getting an elliptical machine. I will begin working out again for the first time since I was pregnant with Joel. I honestly can't even remember what it feels like, but I am hoping it will give me more energy and help me drop these extra 15-20 pounds that are stuck on me. Oh yeah, and it's good for my heart or something too :).
Oh how I love craigslist!!!
