SLEEP!!! What's that? Joseph has always been a pretty good sleeper during the night. Even when he woke up to eat every three hours, I would only be awake with him for about 30 min. at the most. He would just eat, get his diaper changed, and go right back to bed. The past week or so, he has been sleeping for 4-5 hours after his 8 or 9 o'clock feeding. Then, after that it's back to 3 hours. Well, last night I fed him at 9:00pm and put him to bed. I went to sleep about 11:15pm. I know I wasted a couple of hours, but I had school stuff to finish and that's the only time that David and I have to talk to each other without being interrupted. We can actually complete a thought! Anyway, I went to sleep and about 1:30am he started moving around and making noises. David got up and gave him his binki. I thought that might pacify him for a few minutes until I could awaken enough to feed him. But, no, the next time we woke up was 5:00am when I woke up because I was incredibly engorged!!!!!!!!!! I was in tears and felt sick at my stomach. It was worth it though! Who can complain about 7 hours of sleep? Not me! You know how some parents would've woken up to make sure that their baby is still breathing? Nope. Not us. We have never done that. Once again, our baby slept through the night and so did we. We're pretty relaxed parents! Thank you, God for the good night's sleep. I feel so incredibly energized.
