Congratulations on the baby!

Thank you very much @claredragonfly !!
Only really notable change this week is that I’ve dropped a few pledges down a level. I had a few derails get a few goals up to the $90 point and discovered that’s more “terrifying” than “invigorating” right now.
I also need to tweak the definition part for cleaning - between baby and we moved from upstairs to downstairs to better support baby, the house’s needs for cleaning have shifted. So right now I’m kinda operating on vibes of if I’ve done enough cleaning to count as a +1 for the day. I’m trying to pay attention to what feels like new/different “natural” boundaries between rooms or categories, and hopefully another week or two of Vibes Cleaning will help me define more brightly what counts. Or maybe I’ll decide actually not having firm boundaries for cleaning is going reallly well! I doubt it—I tend to be a Checklist Enjoyer—but maybe.

Morning routine is back to “full power”: make the bed, brush my teeth, sort laundry, skim the pool, do yoga. With extreme fuzziness on what “morning” means, of course, with weird sleep timing.
My wife and I have been talking about bringing back my old must-do goal, pulling from my gtd files priority list (and bringing back us updating that priority list together every week). Here’s hoping we can find a good timing to bring it back! It was great for us while it was great, then unneeded for several months as the priority list was just “work on home reno” top to bottom. But I had some nice scripts and processes around it and I love a spot of process design, so I’m hoping it’s time for it to be great again!

We haven’t brought must-do back yet, but we are in the process of reviving the priority list and it has indeed been really nice as some of the tasks coming up have been more varied than just “work on the big obvious home reno project”.
cleaning is still kinda unsatisfying but I also still don’t have any interesting ideas for what to do with it, so I’m just letting it be mildly unsatisfying for now while I try to narrow in on specifics.
Withings’ new family structure for their app is totally crap, you can’t reassign which person a datapoint is for anymore. I’m gonna try just having me as the only “person” using the scale and then just delete data points from my wife and me-holding-my-baby that throw it off, but that’s also pretty crap. (And it doesn’t detect the baby at all, just… thinks I’ve suddenly gained nine pounds.) If anyone reading this has run into that and knows if downgrading the app or firmware brings back the version that actually works for families, let me know… if not, I’ll probably just delete all the internet connectivity from it and turn it into a dumb scale and have support turn my goal into manual-entry.

If you create a new pseudo family member with the you+baby mass, the scale may correctly auto-assign those datapoints.
In our house we’re ok for weigh-ins since we’re all sufficiently different masses. The blood pressure cuff, otoh, you have to manually select a target for the reading – a series of button presses that they redesigned/reversed at some point! And then can’t reassign it when it’s wrong.
While complaining about Withings design decisions, the choice of units is at an account level, not family member level. So if one of you thinks in pounds and another in kilos, choose wisely!
