Yesterday I followed rite with more mothering & homemaking; today the homemaking part is a bit lighter, which is a nice change, & I'm managing to get some writing done. Last night the baby "slept through the night" for the first time, which is to say they had over 5 solid hours of sleep overnight & that's what pediatricians consider substantive. It only means so much to me if they're not sleeping 7+ hours. But every little bit helps & meanwhile it means that they're staying awake for longer by day & they don't necessarily "need" anything, they just exist & are beautiful. It's nice.
