Almost 2 weeks of almost normal sleep

Well, for almost two weeks now, I have been sleeping at least 5 hours at a time.  I finally feel like I am starting to make some progress on “life” now that I am no longer horribly sleep deprived.  Thus far:

• Finished babyproofing, except for the TV area.  It is none-too-soon since Abi is very curious and active.
• Signed contract for new windows & siding.  Work will probably start the week after Thanksgiving.  It is much overdue since our windows are very drafty, and we pay a fortune for heating in the winter.
• Got Abi (and us) an H1N1 flu shot (described in separate post)
• Got Abi an appointment for her seasonal flu shot booster
• Got the yard cleaned up so it no longer looks like crazy people live here
• Am starting to lose weight again at a faster pace (my weight loss significantly slowed down around the time that Abi started waking up every 2-3 hours – though fortunately I did not gain weight back).  Thus far, I am 24 lbs lighter than my pre-conception weight, and I have another 25 lbs to go.  I hope to get to my goal weight in September 2010.  (My goals are not particularly ambitious since weight loss might be harder in the winter, and I want to have a sustainable diet.)
• Am making serious progress on my driving lessons

I could list other accomplishments, but I’ll stop here for now.  Bottom line: it’s great to sleep more than 2-3 hours at a time, and even better to feel some sense of progress / accomplishment in addition to the sleep.
