Sleep: i've made peace with the fact that i will not have another full night of sleep again for a LONG while.

Best Moment this Week: i got to celebrate my 1st mother's day. we really didn't do anything special, but D was sweet enough to give me a card in which he wrote an even sweeter message. i also had a good appt with my m/w, and had a very productive weekend (the car seat is officially in, and my little boy will have a ride home - lol).
