Cause for celebration...

I know that with a title like that you're expecting to read that Grant's sleeping through the night (don't we all wish...) or that Nathan is fully potty trained (in my dreams :) but the cause for celebration in this mommy's life is a little more self-centered this time.

I think all women who have had the joy of being pregnant (I say that with a slight sarcasm) know what it's like those first few weeks after baby is born. Do you live in your lounge pants, succumb to the maternity pants that still fit, or mourn the non-prego clothes that lie tucked away in a box just waiting for the day they can return? I have to say that this past week I had the extreme privilege and joy of returning to my favorite pair of non-maternity jeans! I think it may have actually been one month to the day of Grant's arrival and a much faster return than after Nathan was born. They're the pair that we all have, worn in just right the right places, the perfect wash, the perfect length, and go with just about everything! They were found in a trunk with all my others just waiting to return to the land of the closet and they were embraced, enjoyed, and put on without so much as a coat hanger to zip them up. So from one mommy to another (and for those of you who maybe can't empathize, but can still celebrate with me) let's... celebrate good times, come on!
