For the past two nights, Jack has gone to bed at 10 p.m. and we haven't heard a peep from him until 5:30 a.m.!! It may well be temporary, but he seems to have turned some kind of corner as far as sleeping goes.
Here's the ironic part that all mothers can probably relate to...
Note that I said we didn't hear a peep from him. It was, in fact, because we didn't hear a peep from him that in turn caused his mommy to wake up at oh, let's see...1:00, 3:00, 4:00, 4:30, and once more at 5:00 before he decided to wake up and eat half an hour later.
So while I'm excited that at least Jack is sleeping through the night, I think I'm actually getting less sleep than before, what with all the hopping up and down I'm doing now! Other experienced mommies can chime in here...does anyone know when my body clock will stop going off every two hours with the irrepressible urge to check and make sure he is still breathing?!

I know what you mean. I promise it gets easier. I don't it ever goes away, but it does get to where you can actually sleep somewhat normally. I think for me it happened when he started holding his head up more during tummy time. I wasn't as afraid then. I still check on him right before I go to bed and then right when I get up. We also keep the monitor turned up loud by our bed so I can hear him breathing if I wake up at night.
ReplyDeleteIt will get easier, then comes the day they or their friends get their drivers license....
ReplyDeleteI did that those first few times Ada slept through the night. Worry and being absolutely full of milk kept me up, but all things adjusted to her sleep schedule, so if he keeps it up, you will soon be sleeping right along with him:)
ReplyDeleteI remember feeling like that! You will get used to it quickly, I'm sure. That's great news!
