You know what makes me forget about all of my pumping woes? A day like yesterday. Here’s what we did:

1. Brunch with my friend Wendy and her family.

2. A trip to two bookstores (with a purchase of two new novels).

3. A long hot bath wherein one of my new novels started to get read.

4. Champagne also accompanying the hot bath. This champagne was a gift given to us while still in the hospital. The first champagne I’ve had in almost a year. Ahhh.

5. An in-home massage by a professional masseuse.

Oh, and a baby that for the first time stayed awake from one feeding to another–over three hours! Maybe this will mean she’ll start being awake more during the day than at night.
