Well that lasted about what, 20 minutes? LOL, the baby woke up fussing, my hubby went in to check on him, picked him up, got puked on, and tried to put the less gassy baby back to bed.
We are now sitting in the living room hoping that he will fall asleep to the lull of the well used lullably cd playing that I got as a gift in a card when he was born (hmm that's probably where the word lullaby came from lull to sleep) :).
This cd is our Godsend, it works magic I'm sure of it...ohhh what's that sound...silence...hmm maybe he will go back to sleep, who knows...sure sounds quiet in there now. :)
We have been having some excellent success with the baby sleeping through the night for almost 2 weeks now... only a few nights of interrupted sleep but it's amazing to finally sleep for more than 3 hours at a time.
We were one of the (un)lucky ones who had a baby who woke every hour or two to eat for about the first 3 months...that time is a sleep deprived haze, on top of all the other new things to learn the sleep deprivation was the biggest on the list. Everyone tells you how you will miss sleep but my mantra became "sleep trumps everything", and I meant it! I would rather sleep than eat, pee, drink, shower, get dressed, you name it...it was amazing to me that I could still walk around in the zombie state I was in.
But now it's been two glorious weeks of 6-8 hours of sleep and it took about a week for my body to realize that I didn't have to wake up every 3 hours, but last night was pretty great, I think I only woke about 4 times but went right back to sleep. Here's hoping to another wonderous sleep night, I pray for a good one.
Goodnight (hopefully).
:)
