9 1/2 Hours

Is how long my baby slept between feedings last night! Yea for the Little Man! I was able to get laundry folded, get ready for bed and still get 8 hours of sleep before he woke up. Honestly, it wasn't a continuous 8 hours though. I woke up at 2:30 because that is when he normally wakes up so I checked on him and went back to bed. I then woke up at 4:30 and thought my baby was dead. Sounds funny on a blog, not funny when you're incoherent in the middle of the night. After checking the living status (still good) I then debated for 20 minutes whether to get him up to eat. I took my sister Mimi's advice and decided to "never wake a sleeping child". I went back to sleep and woke up feeling quite refreshed at 6:00. Boy am I glad I didn't wake him up, the doctor today told me the same thing Mim did so I will pray that this becomes a happy new trend. What are the odds?

When Alicia did that it freaked me out! Peter's grandma said never to wake a sleeping baby and we NEVER do. Congratulations! 90% of babies are sleeping through the nights by 2 months. Rachael was in the other 10% :(

I think it's more like Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas to Jeff for the next ten years!

Yeah for the little man! I did the same thing when Sarah started sleeping through the night for about a week. Then I realized that some kids actually do want to sleep unlike my oldest two, and I started getting some sleep. And I'm with everyone else never ever wake a sleeping child. Unless the house is on fire.

Hooray for you! Mim is a very smart woman!

Some of mine were baptised at age 8 before they slept through the night. Good for you! Mama P

You lucky dog, it took Harrison nearly 5 years to do that consistently!
