Third great night of sleep
If the past three nights are any indication, we have a great night sleeper on our hands. I know it's early enough in this process that things could still really change and we haven't exactly hit our groove yet, but... That child knew she was ready. The only reason I started this early was because nothing else was working. Nothing new, nothing old, nothing. I think she just needed to sleep on her own. Last night, I woke up at 4am to discover she hadn't stirred since 7:20pm when we layed her down. I had trouble getting back to sleep! She ended up waking at 5:15am. 10 hours straight of sleep; 10 and a half hours between feedings. Oh my goodness! I know many of you can imagine a certain soreness I was feeling after 10 1/2 hours. Our days are still pretty rough, though. She isn't napping well, but I'll be interested to see if she does any better at home this weekend. My office and her port-a-crib aren't exactly her favorite things. I'm so proud of my little Joanna -- she knew exactly what she needed. If I could only understand what she's trying to tell me about days... "What's that, Lassie... Timmy's in the well?"

What a blessing! I'm so extremely thrilled for you! 10 1/2 hours...that's AMAZING! She doesn't want to nap during the day because she's so totally rested from her night :-) Your last comment is hilarious!! My brother and I always joke about that show because I was addicted to it as a child. All Lassie had to do was bark twice, and they knew EXACTLY what she meant!!
ReplyDelete10 1/2 hours - WOW! you must have been happy AND pretty uncomfortable :) There's nothing better than waking up truly rested for the first time in a while and your brain clears and you have that hi-pro glow feeling!
