We are getting a new water heater/furnace/air conditioner today. That's our spring break money this year, no joke. As I type, Matthew is sleeping on my chest despite all of the noise from the workers at the house. Yesterday was Jeff's 45th birthday and we celebrated with dinner and his favorite cake that his mom always made - crazy cake. Matthew and I also made it downtown to have lunch with him and got to see many of our work friends. We also went to his daycare, spent a little time in the room he will be in, and hung out with Eli and baby Hasle (perhaps Matthew's future girlfriend). Earlier this week, we had our second playdate with Jen K and baby Allison (another girlfriend contender) and I posted a picture of the two kids. Last time I don't think Matthew ever saw Allison because he slept the entire time, so this was a little more active social scene. I've been thinking of a few things I've learned about myself while on maternity leave...I love Panera's Orchard Harvest salad; I am getting the hang of online shopping and Amazon really does carry or link you to anything; I love Ikea! - Katy helped me find new bedroom lamps for $10 and I ate lunch for $4; I can survive on 6 hours sleep for an extended period but I break things more often (specifically glassware - another one bit the dust today); I am still a neat freak and have found that naptime for Matthew triggers the same productivity rush as the 5 minutes just before my next meeting at work; I can be at home without the TV on all day, who knew?; the living room is my favorite room in the house; and last but not least sunshine makes a huge difference in my day. Even when it's bitter cold, the sun is such a blessing and I will be much more thankful for its beauty from now on! Monday is Matthew's 2 month dr. appointment with shots and an official weigh in. This week at class he was 13 lbs 13 oz so I am rooting for him to break 14 lbs. Until next week...
