Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

...and we're back. Eventually, we'll only have to wake up once in the middle of the night to feed. Seems like a pipe dream for now, but that is what they say. No way she's making it to 7 without another one.

To me, this means gulf coast (Tejas?) or like Chicago or somewhere (Great Lakes).

Oh that sounds nice. I'm helping to do diaper change and then burb baby after feedings. At least on work nights (three days/week for me now), she's ok with me going right back to sleep after the diaper, and not helping to burp or re-swaddle. So it's just a few minutes on those nights, vs like a half hour.

That is Spanish moss on the trees, but we are not in Spain.

Flying back to Texas. It has a coast. The Great Lakes have lake shores, but there is no coast up there.

I got up at night when when our kids were babies. I'd get the kid out of bed, change the diaper, and then hand of to mom to feed. Actually enjoyed that.
