after abby was born and while brian was home on paternity leave, we spent a lot of our waking hours with her sleeping on one of us and watching dvd's. to this day, james bond movies and old dr. who episodes (primarily the theme music) never fail to take me back to those days. getting up at 3 in the morning and geeking out with my husband while snuggling with our ever-so-snuggly newborn. this time around is slightly different...we can't just get up in the middle of the night and sleep in the middle of the day like the baby does. but, we have managed to have some good newborn-snuggling and dvd-watching time regardless. our choice for this time is "big love", the HBO series about polygamists. we're about 5 or 6 episodes into the first season, and we're enjoying it quite a bit. it's interesting for me since i've read "under the banner of heaven", the jon krakauer book about the polygamist offshoots of mormonism, i feel that i have a pretty good understanding of the history and culture of these groups. in other words, it makes me feel smart. :) plus, there are some pretty good lines, such as, "so, i guess you heard...your mom shot my tires out. brand new radials."
brian goes back to work this coming friday. argh.
