They're like blessings. But my reading has suffered. It's taking multiple days to read a single book now. I feel like Superman hit with kryptonite--this must be what regular people feel like!JRSMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430775461763521797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5413291183164140297.post-31719314987842745862013-04-26T03:21:52.676-07:002013-04-26T03:21:52.676-07:00Belated congratulations!

Sadly, thanks to sleep deprivation, I remember very little about it - I look at videos and feel as if I'm looking at another life. <br /><br />My favourite part was the first smile. My least favourite was the beginning of crawling, as the need for constant vigilance made it very hard to read the Sunday papers!<br /><br />I'm not surprised that the blogging has suffered, but I hope you're able to keep going.

I'm a bit torn, though, because the UK cover is better, but the US one - if the past is any guide - will be a better-quality book, paper-&-binding-wise. Maybe I should buy both, then cover the US one with the British cover...?jbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08588733228882602884noreply@blogger.com
