What a Week!

I'd been working on a blogpost to close out my maternity leave (which I will still post), but in the immediate term, things are not quite so rosy. Last week, a spill of water fried one of our laptops, leaving us with only one (boohoo, I know--first-world problems). And over a week ago, our furnace stopped functioning properly. It turns on and off, but never reaches its target temperature. So, as the outside got colder and colder (late last week was the coldest of the winter) our

apartment temperature kept dropping, dipping as low as the

​ ​

mid-fifties. Totally unsafe for Junior, who is only several months

​ ​

old.  So we fled our apartment to Uncle Squire's house at 3 in the

​ ​

morning.

We are back here now even though the heat still isn't back. It was

​ ​

hard to nurse and keep

​J​

unior calm in the new environment

​ of Uncle Squire's home (too many fun gadgets and cats to look at!)​

. So we have

​ ​

spent the last couple days holed up in her small room with a space

​ ​

heater, 24/7. We picnic on the floor and spend the rest of the day on

​ ​

the bed or pacing the small room. Quite the

​ ​

experience.

Still, we find our joys.

​ For example, s​

he is currently snuggled against me for her

​ ​

morning nap and it is awesome.
