January 3 was back to work. It was actually really nice to be back on a schedule. And I slept from 10:30-5:55 due to a sweet baby boy who was finally warm enough to sleep through the night. We put him in his new extra warm sleep sack for the second night in a row, and it made me feel awful finally figuring out that he’s likely been waking up the last few weeks because he’s been cold.
