The man that I shall remain married to for at least another day has taken our children to the park

--this greatly improved the odds.  

I am alone.  

not just alone--but alone in my bedroom/cave/haven.

It really is the little things.

Yes, the littlest one still sleeps in our room. Although, she is now sleeping in her own bed. 

This occurance solidified my faith in a higher power.  

What I can say about our second child:

thank God she wasn't the first

also

she may be the sweetest thing the world has ever known

her thighs are becoming pure baby-squish

she is such a happy goof-noodle

the love she shares with Asher is a gift to witness

she is adored.
