My friend Danica used to do these GBOMB (good, bad, on my brain) posts on her blog . I loved them, but I was thinking earlier this week about how she hadn't posted one in a while. And I was thinking maybe I should start doing them instead of a daily recap, which is fine, but I feel like "how we're doing" is probably going to matter more than "what we're doing," years down the road.

We normally go on New Year’s day. But the weather made us push it back. AJ did really well at the restaurant.  After putting him to bed we watched Yellowstone and ate dessert. 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.
