That’s pretty much life – and parenthood, huh?
Last night went much better again. Alex didn’t eat very much cereal, and he cried a good bit when I put him in his crib. So I was a little concerned that we might have a bad night. They were supposed to eat about 10, and he started crying at 9:20. He cried on and off until about 9:50 when a particularly loud wail scared Erin awake. So I fed him while Eric comforted Erin. Then I fed her, and we all went to bed.
But then things got better. There was some crying (10 minutes each…not at the same time) during the 1:00 hour, but everyone managed to soothe themselves. And they slept until 3:00. Then again until 7:00 with no crying at all. And both are asleep right now (though I expect to hear from them soon).
So all in all, I got almost 9 hours of sleep last night…and in multi-hour blocks! WooHoo!
In another new adventure, Alex took a 2.5 hour nap in his crib. This NEVER happens. Ever. I have no idea why, so I’m just taking it as a good thing and moving on.
And finally, it’s a beautiful, sunny, warm day for the first time all week. *Happy sigh*
Today, I’m heading to C-ville and Springfield to see people and hang out with my parents for a bit. Eric is having dinner with his brother at Thurman Cafe. They are intending to enjoy this monstrosity of a burger. Yikes!
Okay, that’s all I have for today. So happy Thursday!
Nine hours! That’s cause for some serious celebration! Like a milkshake… nothing better on a sunny day… Oh, sorry.
I’ll be praying here, too. I can’t tell you how glad I am that your family seems to be turning the corner towards more sleep and happier days!
Yay, for the HOURS of sleep. We’ll pray that this pattern continues or gets better!!
Prayers will continue until this sleep is a well established pattern. I promise. Glad for more rest. And why the heck isn’t it sunny here??????
