birthday honors

In honor of Nathaniel's one month birthday, and in keeping with the drizzly day, I made J Strizzy's pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Yum.

Nathaniel, in honor of his own birthday, slept for five hours straight last night. Five hours! After a month of waking up every two to three hours (and sometimes every hour), five hours felt like I'd slept all night.

My interrupted sleep cycles being what they are, I couldn't fall back asleep after such a long, luxurious sleep, and proceeded to wake up more exhausted than usual this morning. Luckily, it was a drizzly day. I stayed inside, ate pumpkin chocolate chip oatmeal cookies dipped in hot cocoa, and napped when Nathaniel napped.

I think everybody needs a nap day every so often. I recommend it.

Oh, I so remember those months of sleep deprivation.  This is why young people have babies. :)  Cookies sound marvelous!  It is drizzly here today, too -- I may have to try baking some cookies (it's gotta be better than reading cases, right?).
