It is a good, warm, smile inducing feeling to walk into the room where your infant child is screaming after waking up from a nap in her Pack N' Play, walking over so she can see you, and quite dramatically the screaming instantly stops and is replaced by a half smile, which signals she is still quite displeased by her empty stomach, but knows full well that her Mamacakes will very soon put an end to the suffering.
Yes, I was blessed with large breasts, and they are much more than just playthings for my husband!

Ahhhh, Sleep :)
Two nights in one week my child has let me sleep for SEVEN Straight hours!
Not consecutively of course, but twice in a week, I think we have a new record! The longest length of time before this week, 5 hours, when she was a week old, and was slightly jaundiced (which tends to cause babies to sleep more and eat less).
So yes, Knock on wood, I dare say we may be reaching the beginning stretches of "sleeping through the night"!
Beginning to believe there just MIGHT be a God!

Walking
So I got this treadmill on freecycle a little over a year ago, I used it a few times and it's been sitting in the back corner of my store (the only place I had room for it at the time LOL) collecting dust and being used quite efficiently to hold boxes.
A few days ago the SUPER strong hubby of mine got it into the house for me, we had rearranged our living room weeks ago to prepare it for this move, but life has a tendency to get in the way of plans, so in the store it stayed.
I was meaning to try it out yesterday while super hubby was gone to work (I have a thing about working out in front of other people... he was taking a shower a couple weeks ago and when he got done he walked into the bedroom and walked in on me doing naked crunches... I was so embarrassed!), but I didn't get a chance to use it yesterday, I finally got to use it today and I walked a whole Quarter of a mile. Pretty pathetic, but its been about 2 years since Ive done any real sort of regular walking, so I started working up a sweat at 0.25 miles and figured that was a good time to stop, perfect timing too cause I got a phone call shortly after, haha!
I figure I will walk my fat ass off 1 quarter of a mile at a time if I have to... but I have a sneaking suspicion that if I keep this up, Ill make it past a quarter of a mile in no time and my ass will come off a little faster than I hope :)

Hormone Free Birth Control
There was just an Ad showing on my blog for hormone free birth control, I think it was advertising the sponge... I prefer hormone free birth control myself, though I can't honestly say I have ever tried the sponge, so don't take the ad being on my site as an endorsement for the product, or any other ad that is, unless I let you know specifically that it is something I can endorse!
Personally for hormonal birth control, what I rely on the most at present (while waiting for my husbands vasectomy to be proven effective!) is Natural Family Planning (charting your cycle, tracking cervical mucus, all that), I know it sounds complicated and gross, but its pretty easy and comes naturally once you learn how to do it... We do also use Condoms and Spermicide most of the time, but having the NFP as a backup in case condoms fail or we forget to use the spermicide, etc. was effective in preventing pregnancy for about a year and a half, until we decided to go ahead and TRY to get pregnant, and it's worked for multiple months since we had #4.
As for Spermicide, I like that VCF - Vaginal Contraceptive Film, sometimes I will use Encare, which are these bullet shaped spermicide things that kind of "melt" after they are inserted. I prefer the VCF cause its less "Messy", Encare leaves you feeling kinda gross after...
But yeah, there are my recommendations for hormone free birth control!
