Another day, plus a backdated post

Thanks for your comments and e-mails last night; they were really helpful. We still didn't sleep any better, and D is currently on minute 30 of an attempt to get a visibly tired little girl to nap, but there was at least some catharsis in the writing and the discussing.

And lest you think it's all gloom and doom around here, I point you to this post, written last week on the occasion of Ess' three-month birthday and posted to the family blog but unposted here until this morning.
