Good news on the sleeping front: we have succeeded in the no-nurse-night plan.
I have waited a while to post this, in fear of jinxing it, but it seems as though we have an all night sleeping baby now. He sleeps from 7 or 7:30 to about 6:30. Can I get an amen from the choir?
The first week was rough. The first night, as I posted, he cried for about 2 and 1/2 hours. Straight. It was a nightmare. But every night got better. Then one glorious night he slept until 5. He did that for about a week - waking up at 5 crying, then going back to sleep.
But now. Oh now, my friends. Now he sleeps 11 glorious hours without so much as a peep.
Ladies, still nursing your large baby through the night at almost 8 months? Stop it. I am a new woman. Last night I went to sleep at 8 and slept straight until 6 am. (minus the fifteen minutes I woke up at midnight because our music box Christmas ornament was playing. On it's on. Ghost of Christmas, perhaps?)

Yay!!! You're back at blogging! I was beginning to wonder if you would ever post again. So glad my buddy is sleeping better; it's amazing what a good night's sleep can do for you, right?
Oh Heather, I'm so happy for you!!! So glad you are getting some rest. Now if my 4 and a half month old would decide to sleep through the night...sigh.
Yay for all of you! Sleep is good!
So happy for all of you! You're so right, sleep makes you a new woman for sure! :)
Congratulations...You manned up way earlier than I did with Sam--I waited a year before refusing to go in his room in the middle of the night. Won't be doing that next time.
